Lord Pitt to Thomas Walpole
AL: American Philosophical Society
Hayes Thurday March 6th [1775]

Lord Pitt presents his Compliments to Mr: Walpole and being at Hayes did not recieve the honor of his obliging note, till yesterday. Lord Chatham desires him to present his Compliments to Mr: Walpole, and is much honor’d by his thinking of his health, which is better, tho’ he still continues very much out of order. Lord Chatham also desires me to express how sensibly he feels the contents of the Extract communicated to him; he is deeply touched by such a remembrance, and truly honor’d by so Authentick and Respectable a Testimony to his good Intentions.

Notation in Franklin’s hand: Note receiv’d by Mr. Walpole in answer to one from him communicating an Extract of a Letter from me respecting Lord Chatham’s Motion for Conciliatory Measures made Feb. 1775.

B Franklin

Notation: Walpole, Feb. 1775.
