Notes

Thursday
My Dr Sir

I trouble you with Lord L's / answer to my letter as we have / succeeded in our first point namely / knocking at Ferguson's next detestable / plan and also in putting the business which / I consider is most material in your hands. / May I request you to turn the subject / in your mind, and give Lord L. your final / instructions in the way you think best / calculated for the persons employ'd there / to carry them into effect.

He has not sent back the plans / probably you have a sketch of your own / which will be sufficient for you to / work upon if not I can from Memory / state the present ground plan.

I am my Dr Sir / very sincerely yours / Castlereagh


Lord Castlereagh was the eldest son, by his first wife, of Lord Londonderry.
