thanking him for his letter which makes me not hesitate, but rather think it a duty to explain what may have been mistaken & cause a conclusion that Ld Paget and I troubled your Lordship about the same person, whereas the Liberty Stock was in favor of Dean Champigné, the father, and his Lordship solicited for his son; tho' I dare say Ld page would be happy to see his father in law duly distinguished... he encloses a copy (not present) of his earlier letter giving his opinion of that excellent Divine... I will only add in its support that Dan Champigné has been 42 years a strict observer of his duty, and has brought up and educated in an uncommon genteel manner a very numerous family yet, notwithstanding his birth alliances & merit don't receive from church benefices above 400 a year..., 3 sides 4to., Grosvenor Street, December
