Chapter VIII: Letter VII: To Edward Young, Esq

On the death of Lord ----, Son to the Duke of ----.

Richmond, April 21, 1770.

HONOURED SIR,

I +bless+ God, their Graces continue in good health, though as yet they have not seen any body--I have duly acquainted his Grace with the anxious and kind enquiries of yourself and other of his noble friends.--Time will, I hope, bring them comforts. Their loss is great indeed; and not to them only. The public have a loss--Goodness--Wisdom--Knowledge--and Greatness--were united in him. Heaven has gained an Angel; but earth has lost a treasure. Hoping you are as well as you wish your friends, I am, honoured Sir,

Your most obedient and grateful
humble servant to command,

I. SANCHO.
