| Description | (3 ff.) [The enclosed letter [seeMS 3782/13/50/107], written on behalf of my father, will, I trust, be a satisfactory acceptance of your proposals to him. It is to be remarked that the contract with the Lords of the Treasury is not actually executed: their Lordships agreed to the proposed terms and gave directions for a contract to be prepared accordingly, but you know the forms of office do not always allow even their Lordships’ commands to be carried into effect immediately.] |
