I have been favoured with the following Memorandum from the 

 Foreign Office. The correspondence of 1763 and 1765 I examined, 

 and have alluded to at p. 225. 



" A search has Jbeen made in the offices of the Secretaries of 

 State and in the State Paper Office for the correspondence of Mr. 

 David Hume when Under-Secretary of State with Marshal Conway ; 

 but although letters have been found addressed to Mr. Hume in 

 1767-8, no letter signed by Mr. Hume can be found in any of the 

 entry books of the period during which Mr. Hume was Under- 

 secretary of State ; nor can any such letter be found in the books 

 of the same period in the State Paper Office. 



" It would appear from the postscript of a letter from Mr. Carroll, 

 dated at Dresden, April 13, 1768, that Mr. Hume's retirement 

 had then been spoken of. 



" There are some letters in the State Paper Office in Mr. Hume's 

 handwriting while Secretary to the Earl of Hertford, at Paris in 

 1763 ; and also his own letters when left as Charge d' Affaires in 

 France, from the 28th of July to the 13th of November, 1765.
