Sir/
Though I have nothing of moment to
mention, I write to inform you , That I am
better on the whole , though still with both
feet buried in flannel and gouty shoes ---
Come when you will, as soon as you are
prepared to transact business with me ; but
I am in no haste, for I do not flatter –
myself with {?mannmission} from confinement
for a fortnight to come ---
I dare not think , much less speak on the
subject of the political situation of this
country – I contemplate its existence on the

the catastrophe – nothing can redeem us from
insignificance among the the Nation, of
Europe, but an immediate Peace on Bonaparte’s
terms, which however humiliating we cannot
reject – yours sincerely – G. Earle
