selves by real Service. On a Little clash, he took conduct
to my Lord by Mr Bladen inter als: to insinuate an Accot
of his Brother James deceased for money he saye due to him
from the late Lord, by Accot I understood near Thirty years
standing, neither approving his Policy nor Demand I drop'd
him, with no concern for what he may say. Yr several Let"
to Lord Baltimore I have duly delivered him & have pressed
him often for Ansrs to you, but so it is, he is always busy
at Woodcote & other amusements so taken up that affords
him no Leisure to write, he sends you his best wishes. Yrs
to yr Brother Wm I've constantly delivered. I ask'd him if
any Answr he had I woud Inclose it, he said No. The only
safe conveyance of writing to you for the time to come is
by the Trade undr convoy, here's not the least surmise of
Peace. The french are cruel Enemies in the Electorate of
Hanover destructive of all things, of Life & Property. Tis
much talk'd that 200—of our Troops are for Hanover to
joyn the Prussians & Electorate Troops undr the comd of
Prince Ferdinand for whom his Majesty has bespoke a
Diamond Sword.

The inclosed Instructions for Executing a Letr of Attory
by Mr Ogle with a Letr from him to me to execute a Deed
is the request of Mr Ernst & Ld Baltimore who desiers yr
favour of sending the Papers to the Parties to Execute with
return to me soon as possible.
