APPENDIX G2. 



Almack's, Wednesday. 



My dear George, — I wrote to you last night after I 

 came from the Opera. No accounts to Government ; but 

 all the bad news about Burgoyne continues to be believed. 

 I do not hear positively that anybody has seen Franklin's 

 letter, so that I hope it is not true. 



Lord Onslow has Sir W. Meredith's white stick ; Lord 

 Palmerston the Treasury ; Lord Mulgrave the Admiralty ; 

 and Sir R. Worseley the green cloth in the room of 

 Hopkins. They are now at the House of Commons upon 

 the adjournment, and to-morrow we are to have it in the 

 House of Lords. I believe I did not tell you that 

 Galloway attempted to speak ; stopped short ; and desired 

 to read his speech, which he had in his pocket. Crawford 

 has come to town. He tells me that Foley will be enabled 

 to pay his debts ; there being a clause in the will giving 

 the trustees that power, if they think fit to make use of it, 

 which they are inclined to do. 



Adieu ! mon cher et bon ami. Take care of yourself and 

 endeavour to regain your spirits and health, which will 

 make all your friends haj)py, but no one so much so as 

 myself, who am always, — Most sincerely and affectionately 



y°^^^' M.ANDR.
