like you--on the cup, is safe: but I would not use it, for the world;
for, if it was broke, it would distress me very much.

Your letters, by Swift, I shall never get back. The French Consul,
at Barcelona, is bragging that he has three pictures of you from the
Swift.

I do not believe him; but, what if he had a hundred! Your resemblance
is so deeply engraved in my heart, that there it can never be effaced:
and, who knows? some day, I may have the happiness of having a living
picture of you!

Old Mother L---- is a damned b----: but I do not understand what you
mean, or what plan.

I am not surprised at my friend Kingsmill admiring you, and forgetting
Mary; he loves variety, and handsome women.

You touch upon the old Duke; but, I am dull of comprehension:
believing you all my own, I cannot imagine any one else to offer, in
any way.

We have enough, with prudence; and, without it, we should soon be
beggars, if we had five times as much.

I see, Lord Stafford is going to oppose Mr. Addington; the present
ministry cannot stand.

I wish Mr. Addington had given you the pension; Pitt, and hard-hearted
Grenville, never will.
