Every book and picture in Bowood has been bought by the present Lord, and certainly the collection does him great honour.
I am glad that I stayed here.

A burgess of some influence, who, at the last election, attempted to get up an opposition to the Lansdowne interest, has just arrived.

I called on him this morning, and, though he was a little ungracious at first, succeeded in obtaining his promise.
Without him, indeed, my return would have been secure; but both from motives of interest and from a sense of gratitude I think it best to leave nothing undone which may tend to keep Lord Lansdowne's influence here unimpaired against future elections.
Lord Kerry seems to me to be going on well.

He has been in very good condition, he says, this week; and hopes to be at the election, and at the subsequent dinner.

I do not know when I have taken so much to so young a man.
