‘ M’r George Mynd
Dear Sir,
Your Uncle directs me to inform you that he has received your Letter, &ca; but having Mr Dumergue, & a Houseful of other Visitors, with him it prevents his sending you an immediate Reply; in the mean Time, Mr Boulton requests that you will not proceed in the Business communicated; & in the Course of the present Week he intends writing you his full Sentiments on the Subject thereof.
You have no Doubt been inform’d, that your Uncle’s Health has been, for some Time past, unquestionably in an improving State;—the alarming urinary Symptoms having entirely vanished. It wou’d give me unspeakable Pleasure cou’d I add, that his Progress towards a State of perfect Recovery is not frequently interrupted by the Exertion of Complaisance to his numerous Friends & Visitors, especially Foreigners, by whom he has of late suffer’d his Rest & Peace to be more disturb’d than ever. Last Night he had not one Wink of Sleep in Consequence, I believe, of his Spirits having been stretch’d out to their utmost Extent, by the Elicitation of Company; & while the Causes remain, it is to be fear’d the Effects will not cease to be felt to the Detriment of his invaluable Health. I am, very respectfully, Dear Sir, yr most obt h Ser[vt]
Wm Cheshire.’ |
