THE DUKE’S LETTER, ABOUT THE PRO- 
TECTOR FOR ENGLAND. 
Sunday Morning, March 14, 1773. 
I have but just time, my dear Lord, to 
acquaint you that last night 1 not only 
got account of the affairin question being 
entierly finisched, but they have had the 
attention to send me the’ very brief for 
Card!) Cestini, which I have sent to 
hin with a proper compliment, and I am 
informed he has taken very kindly my 
brother's remembrance of him, so that he 
ows that decoration entierly to him, as 
Card! Marefoschi ows him what re- 
cuards Ireland, and I am obliged to add, 
that the Pope, as soon as he knew my 
B's inclination, not only did not put 
it in doubt, but was the first himself 
to acquaint the Card’ of it. I was 
in doubt if I cou’d have come to town to- 
morrow for a considerable coald I have 
got, but if I do, it is not possible for me 
to be running about so much, the more 
that I have some pressing business after 
the consisstori, and must go away as 
early as possible ; so the king must excuse 
me for this time, and you may find me at 
home about eleven and a half. Adieu, 
-my dear Lord, you know imy sentiments 
toards you. 1 embrace you with all 
my heart, with a thousand compliments 
tu your lady, 
Henrry CarpDINAL. 
THE DUKE'S LETTER. 
Tuesday Morning, Sept. 7, 1778. 
I took very gindly, my dear Lord, 
yours of the 29th, and for your ruel have 
had no letter from my sister. When 
ever the scandalous hinderence 1s_re- 
moved of a nvtual liberty of discoursing, 
&c. betwixt my sister and me, there 1s 
no doubt that my visits or letters may not 
only be of comfort to her, but of use to 
her condect; but until that happens, I 
will hear .of nothing, and will not ap- 
proche them, since it is not just that I 
shoud have so mauy motives of afflic- 
tion, and be insulted in the barguain. It 
is the’affair of those who may think me 
useful to do their endeavours to redress 
such irregular ways uf proceeding to- 
wards @ person of my carracter, <A 
thousand compliments to your lady, and 
be allwaise assured of my unalterable 
senciments of esteem and friendships for 
you.—Adieu, Hexny CARPINAL,

THE DUKES LETTER. 
Tuesday Morning, Marck 29, 1774. 
Tthank you, my dear Lord, for your 
kind letter, and desire you wou'd remem- 
ber that I only have more then once laide 
under your consideration the evils that 
perhaps might ensue from your quitting 
Rome, but never have put in question 
the justness of your pretentions in re- 
guard of my B" who certainly aught 
to think himself obliged to condecend to 
your just demands, but as I never had 
any thing to do, either in your com ing 
here, or indeed in any one thing con- 
cerning my Br operations énclusive 
to his marriage, I can account for 
nothing, nor meddle in any thing, and 
much less pretend to obstruct in any 
shape, or even disaprove whatever reso. 
lution you make think necessary for you 
to take; and you may be very certain 
that no incident whatever can alter the 
value I have allwaise had for you, nor 
diminish in the least the sincere friend- 
ship I retain for you and your lady, to 
home I make a thousand compliments. 
Adieu, Henry Carpinat, 
THE DUKE’SLETTER CONCERNING FATHER 
FLEMING’S AFFAIR. — 
Thursday Night, June 17, 1774. 
T have last night, my dear Lord, sent 
all the papers to Canonico Ricci, for to 
take the proper steps with Card! 
Marefoschi, in reguard of the affair in 
question; but in case the Card! shou’d 
not care to meddle in it, I can do no 
more on account of my being totaly out 
of them affairs and it’s not being decent 
I shou’d recomend myself to persons I 
have not reason to be satisfied with; 
but all this will not hinder your takeing, 
proper means with Propaganda and 
others, for obtaining your intent. Makea 
thousand kind compliments in my name _ 
to your lady, and be allwaise persuaded ~ 
of my siucere esteem and affection, 
Adieu. Henry Carpinal.
