APPENDICES 299 



Bully is coming again into the world, and swears he 

 will seduce some modest woman, I have no doubt he 

 will, Williams never meets me without abusing you for 

 being so affected, as to stay at Paris. We both agree that 

 Coventry has stayed in the country to see what turn 

 politics will take. Between Temple and Pitt, he is like 

 Captain Macheath. ' How happy could I be with either ! ' 

 The Bladens were at Crome when Williams was there, 

 and is more enchanted with them than you can possibly 

 imagine. Farewell ! my dear George ; I am determined 

 to write to you every post, if only to say that I am always, 

 — Your very affectionate friend, 



M. AND R. 



APPENDIX Z. 



Friday, 2\st November 1766. 



To town last night. Williams is in love with the 

 Bladens ; he found them at Crome. I have long known 

 that they are the most agreeable women in London ; but 

 you know he never thinks anything can be so, but what 

 he is accustomed to see every day. 



Cadogan and Thomond are gone in the country to shoot. 

 Lord Farnham ^ is gone to Ireland. Say something for 

 me to the Rena, that she may not think she is forgot, 

 which she certainly is not, and don't lose an opportunity, 

 when it offers, of remembering me to my friends at Paris. 



' Robert, first Earl of Farnham.
