Description | Written from Herrenhausen, addressed to Phippy. Thanks for his missive and its enclosure: regret at not shaking hands with him prior to his departure: assurance of his stupid blockhead of a porter Hugford not having delivered any message from him, which was no surprise, for whch he will be dismissed, with Stephenson to procure him another: not feeling it right, as King, to damn him as strongly as he would have before: having plenty to do for some time to come, but being sure of getting things right by prudence, caution and good humour: his enthusiastic reception in the country, understanding his declaration gave much satisfaction, for its plain, honest speaking, openly upholding the conservative principles he has always publicly held: radicals and bad minded persons not being equally pleased, but they are few in number and held in great contempt: thanks for his last tribute. Sheet, with 4 pages of text, black bordered. |
