My Lord,

I thank your Lordship for the Information you have been pleas’d to favour me with, relating to the Sailing of the Pacquets. 1

It was intended that I should take Passage in the first; But I shall now wait your Lordship’s Arrival here, that if in any thing I can be of Service, I may be ready to obey your Lordship’s Commands; being, with the sincerest Respect and Attachment, My Lord, Your Lordship’s most obedient and most humble Servant
