[written on the same sheet as a note from Capt Feilding: see ]

Friday Feb^y 28.

I hear from London that M^r Ward ¹ is extremely out of humour with himself for having refused the Secretaryship of State & since Lord Francis Conyngham ² has got it he has found out it would have suited him. a M^r Baring Wall ³ is come here & tells me he has brought me Peveril of the Peak ⁴ from Lord Auckland ⁵ but I have not yet received it. Charlotte Lemon ⁶ has at last written to me & seems to have passed a dismal Winter in the Avenue de Neuilly
