Every body gives a very excellent character of Mr. Chevalier, the

I want to send two thousand one hundred pounds, to pay off Mrs.
Greaves, on October 1st. But, I have not received one farthing; but,
I hope to receive some soon. But Mr. Haslewood promised to see this
matter kept right for me.

Hardy is now busy, hanging up your and Horatia's picture; and I trust
soon to see the other two safe arrived from the Exhibition. I want
no others to ornament my cabin. I can contemplate them, and find new
beauties every day, and I do not want any body else.

You will not expect much news from us. We see nothing. I have great

Acton does not take care, Sicily also. However, I have given my final
advice so fully and strongly that, let what will happen, they cannot
blame me.

but that it is very different to your time.

The Queen, I fancy, by the seal, has sent a letter to Castelcicala;
her letter to me is only thanks for my attention to the safety of the
kingdom. If Dr. Scott has time, and is able, he shall write a copy for
you.
