: but, they have no bowels; at least, for me. I had a very indifferent night, but your and Sir William's kind letters have made me feel better. I send you a letter from Lord Pelham. I shall certainly attend; and let them see, that I may be useful in council as I have been in the field. We must submit; and, perhaps, these Admiralty do this by me, to prevent another application. You may rely, that I shall be with you by dinner, on Friday; at half past three, or four at farthest. I shall not dine with Pitt, as Mr. and Mrs. Long are staying there. Not that I ever saw her in my life, nor care if I never do. I pray that I may not be annoyed, on my arrival: it is retirement with my friends, that I wish for. Thank Sir William, kindly, for his letter; and the inclosure, which I return. Sutton is much pleased with your letter; and, with Bedford, will certainly make you a visit. They are both truly good and kind to me. Our weather has been cold these two days, but not bad. I have got a fire in the cabin; and, I hope my complaint will go off. May Heaven bless you! I send this, through Troubridge, direct in Piccadilly. I shall, you may rely, admire the pig-stye, ducks, fowls, &c. for every thing you do, I look upon as perfect. Dr. Baird has been aboard, to see me. He thinks, I shall be better; and, that a few days on shore will set me up again. Make my kind remembrances to Sir William, the Duke, and all friends; and believe me, ever, your most affectionate NELSON & BRONTE. Bedford has made me laugh. Mrs. Lutwidge has been babbling, that she will go to Portsmouth with the Admiral; who says, he shall be so fully employed that he cannot be much with her. She whispered Bedford--"I have many friends in the army there!" She will certainly marry a soldier, if ever she is disposable. But, perhaps, you will agree with me, that no good soldier would take her. I am sure, the purchase would be dear, even if it was a _gift_. Don't call this a bull. Sutton's man was on the farm; and the sheep, when not belonging to the farm, always paid so much sheep, so much lambs: but, I dare say, you manage well. Sir William's letter has delighted me, with your activity and prudence. LETTER XXV. The two letters would have been over-weight, so I send you the letter I have answered. Pray, take care of it, it is a curiosity! Ever your faithful NELSON & BRONTE. Amazon, 2 P.M. Yawkins is in g
