To J. B. Holroyd, Esq.
Brighthelmstone, 1778, Wednesday morning, ten o'clock.
I have carefully perused the Report, and think you have considerably improved both the matter and arrangement. The remarks were as clear to my conception as they could be made without the help of maps, and the general language is easy and spirited: to render the style minutely elegant and correct would be a tedious and at the same time a very useless task. As it now stands the work must do credit to the author and may do service to the country. Adieu. We meet at Lord G.'s.
Friday morning; I suspect that my Lady will decline the party.
