Sir

I went on Saturday morning and delivered your parcel ¹ into M^r Gyde^{s 2} hands, and the portmanteau^s to M^r Wright ³ all safe Captⁿ Feilding ⁴ gave me a note to M^rs Methuen ⁵ which I delivered to that Lady, but received no hopes of success. I return you many thanks for mentioning the subject to Lady Elisabeth ⁶, I shall now wait in hopes of the the [sic] Foresters place at Bowood ⁷, I have every reason to believe that you will not forget me when his lordship ⁸ arrives at Bowood &c &c –

I have asked M^r Gale ⁹ to value the few articles of furniture which I left in the house and likewise to send you an account of the number of articles and what he valued them at, which if you approve of, I shall be very much obliged. Should it please you to give orders for the amount to be paid to my wife &c &c I shall feel happy in doing anything to oblige you that may ly lie in my power while I am in a nursery. I mean to go into Whitly & Osborns at Fulham ¹⁰ and there wait for a situation &c ¹¹

Your Obe^dt Hum^ble Serv^t
