BATH,November 2,1762.
MY DEAR FRIEND:I arrived here,as I proposed,last Sunday;but as ill as I feared I should be when I saw you.Head,stomach,and limbs,all out of order.
I have yet seen nobody but Villettes,who is settled here for good,as it is called.What consequences has the Duke of Devonshire's resignation had?He has considerable connections and relations;but whether any of them are resigned enough to resign with him,is another matter.There will be,to be sure,as many,and as absurd reports,as there are in the law books;I do not desire to know either;but inform me of what facts come to your knowledge,and of such reports only as you believe are grounded.And so God bless you!
