| Description | Pardon me my dear Nanny for not writing to you oftener but I have so many Persons to wait on all day & so many of their notes & Letters to answer at night that I have not had one hours leasure since I came to London. I have this day been with Mr Talbot for the first time. I found him ill in bed but says my business shall not be retarded & further says that there is a necessity for my being in Town the Eighth of May as that is ye first day of Term Now as I know I cannot stay in Town untill ye 8th of May I therefore have this minute determind to come home for a fortnight & then I hope to have the Pleasure of attending my dear wife to London where I will devote allmost my Whole time to her wishes for just as long as she pleases
I am very sorry my Love to disapoint you but when I see how hard it snows & when I consider that there will be no genteel publick amusements in ye Easter week & that the days will be longer & the weather finer by may day I therefore am determind to set out on Wednesday & to return wth. you again to London in a fortnight or sooner if more agreeable to your self
I dined with the Russian Ambasadure to day & find we are agoing to send Ten men of War to Denmark to blow them up unless they deliver the Queen
