As to private affairs, It is a strange pair of brutes that I an engaged with. I send your letters as instructions to Hugonin. As to Lovegrove we expect his Ultimatum. The Bishop of Landaff gives a very bad character of Matthews.
Last Tuesday I dined at Lethiuellier's[271] with Maudit,[272] Lascelles and Sir Thomas Millar. Next Tuesday they dine in Bentinck Street, with the addition of Batt.[273] From some circumstance it appears that my romantic attack on Lord A. might have succeeded. Adieu.
Embrace my Lady. The treaty between moles and paper is far advanced.
231.
To Mrs. Holroyd.
Bentinck Street, Dec. 17th, 1774.
Dear Madam,
A GOOD SON AND A GOOD FRIEND.
