Letter to "My Dear Lord," in part: "In consequence of our Conversation, I lost no Time in enquiring respecting the Vacancy of King's Aid de Camp, but found that independent of the difficulties I apprehended, the Business was already decided, His Majesty having disposed of it in favor of Col. Elliot. Your Lordship is probably apprised of this Circumstance before this Time, as I have been prevented from writing to you longer than I intended." In very good to fine condition, with scattered light toning and staining.
