'My Dear Lord, I find so many observations and interlineations have been made in the Resolutions by the Ministers, that I shall wait till they are disposed of, before, I procure the copy you wish for.

'My Dear Sir, having appraized Lord Liverpool of the substance of what passed in conversation at Lord Buckinghams on Wednesday, I have now the honor to send you an extract of his answer to me, which I received this morning. I propose going to Brighton on Monday to attend the Council at which Lord Wellesley will be sworn in as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Should you wish to see me in the course of next week I shall, if not in Town, which you will learn either at my house or the office be most happy to receive you at Cray Farm where you will find a well [?] bed and [?] at home. I propose going into Norfolk on Saturday the 15th. Believe me dear sir yours very faithfully, Londonderry. '

The enclosed extract reads 'My Dear Londonderry, I am very much obliged to you for your letter.

I am glad you have had so full an explanation with them and Mr Wynne and I shall be happy to see the latter here, if he decides upon coming, and to give him every explanation in my power.'

'Dear Kennedy, The situation of Secretary and Provost Martial in the island of Bermudas has fallen vacant - the climate is healthy, the office worth as I understand about £500 a year. It requires activity and diligence, and being a respectable situation I shall be happy to offer it to you, as I conclude you have not many affairs to settle at home, the sooner you go out the better. Your appointment shall be made out when you come to Town. Yours sincerely, Castlereagh.'

'Dear Sir, I did not know of the proposed meeting on Monday. And I have unluckily business which calls me out of town, preventing my return before five or six o'clock on Thursday next. If I am wanted in any way before that time I hope you will make an excuse of necessity for me. Yours very truly, Castlereagh.'
