To Captain James Saumarez.
FROM THE REV. R. B. NICHOLLS.
28th October 1793, Middleham, Yorkshire.
Dear Sir,
Accept my warmest congratulations on your late very extraordinary and glorious success, which I consider as a signal favour and blessing upon you from the God of armies, whom I invoke, and shall ever, on your behalf, that the path of happiness and glory, temporal and eternal, may be successfully trodden by you, and that you may long live an example of the blessings that Heaven has for a Cornelius. Continue me in your friendly remembrance, which I shall ever consider as an honour.
I am, dear sir,
Your most affectionate
and most obedient humble servant,
R. B. Nicholls.
To Captain Saumarez, &c.
