My dear Sir James, _—_Rose Castle, July 26, 1816. 
I am always happy when I receive a letter from 
you: it is amusing to compare the different accounts 
of things from different persons in different situa- 
tions; they usually vary very much in those ac- 
counts. But there is one particular now in which 
all accounts from all quarters agree, viz. about the 
weather: we have had scarcely a day without rain 
since we came into the North. 
I admire some of those agricultural meetings, 
particularly when they are purely agricultural, like 
Mr. Coke’s, and not as they have been in this coun- 
ty, mixed up with politics. 
I am glad to hear that the House of Buckingham 
has so fair a promise in Lord Nugent. The world ne- 
ver will move better and in more natural order than 
when the greatest men in it are the wisest and the 
best. A novus homo has a deal to struggle through 
before he can get into a commanding situation. A 
man of rank, and of real knowledge at the same 
time, comes into it without an effort, and thus a 
great deal of time and contention is saved.
