day. You are [damaged] of the honour of
sending me Books from the Library, it being more
agreeable to my taste to have a Young Gentleman
in my service, however if you have one ready
for sending I will not grieve you by refusing
your Afficiousness, please observe your salary {?eases} from
this time, but I will use my power in
recommending you to some of my grandee Acquaintances
(perhaps to Lady Lyttlston)
