294 'OLD q' 



to replace your money. If you had occasion for any, I 

 should offer to be your banker. Pray let the Tondino 

 know these lucky events, in case I should not have time 

 to write to her by this post. 



The Marquis de Fitzjames liked Newmarket, and 

 everybody liked him. I hesitate a good deal about the 

 journey to Paris, and have determined, if I go at all, not 

 to go till after the meeting of Parliament. All the French 

 expeditions are put off till that time. The Duke of 

 Northumberland, and Sir Charles and Lady Sarah,^ 

 certainly go then. I have two fans for you from Lady 

 Townshend, which you shall have by the first opportunity. 



This moment your two letters are arrived. If you 

 mean Fish Crawford, he is in perfect health, so you may 

 comfort your blind woman. I shall take care to send her 

 the tea you desire, as soon as I can get anybody to carry 

 it. I hear and believe that the Bedfords are coming in. 

 The Duchess of Hamilton has gone to Scotland for six 

 weeks upon election business. I don't hear Grenville's name 

 mentioned. Lord Gower and Rigby are gone to Bath to 

 the Duke of Bedford. Farewell, my dear George ! I must 

 go to the Duke of Queensberry this morning. He desired 

 that I would call upon him, I believe to talk to me about 

 some election business. He interests himself for Captain 

 Ross, so that I fear Murray of Philiphaugh will have a 

 bad chance. I told the Duke of Grafton that you would 

 be here whenever he thought it necessary. I found that 

 he did not expect much opposition. Adieu, my dear 

 George ! — Yours very affectionately, 



M. AND R.
