Fine Autograph Letter Signed to GRENVILLE
(Lord William, 1759-1834, Prime Minister) thanking him for his letter and remarking that "if political transactions put one out of humour with many, they make one love the few who do act & think right so much better better that it is some compensation. I understand a messenger is just going by whom I send this letter, he will bring you others from whence you will learn that your Brother is going Ld Lieut to Ireland ...", George Nugent-Temple-Grenville, 1st Marquess of BUCKINGHAM (1753-1813, Statesman), "If you go with him as secretary, I hope you will be so good as to endeavour to serve my friend Dickson who by this change has for the third time missed a Bishoprick. I called upon your Brother yesterday and left with him the letters that passed between you & me, explaining that it was at your desire that I did. I was very glad to have your authority ... I was very much inclined to take it even of my own when I was supposed he was to be my Successor, now that he knows the whole of the transaction, if he still choses (as I fear he will to go into this den of Thieves, neither your nor I have any thing to answer for. If this transaction had been witheld from him, he might have had reason to complain of me but much more of you. I have not heard from him since he has been au fait. His expressions both to me personally & to the party were so kind that I am far from considering him as lost, but wether he is or not and whatever part your situation may make it right for you to take in Politics, I shall always depend upon your friendship & kindness to me as perfectly unalterable ... that most contributes to keep up my spirits in this very trying situation ...", 3 sides 4to., Grafton Street, 13th July
