The Bearer of this, George Livius Esqr, is a many years friend of mine, and one whom I very much Love, as He is going to Paris, I am very glad of the opportunity of calling myself to your Remembrance, and of sending you an extract of the last Appendix to the Monthly Review, which is in one of your Branches of Usefullness. I beg you to receive my worthy friend as a Portion of my self. He is well acquainted with our Brethren, and has shewn those in the East Indies many kindnesses. This will certainly give him a Distinction in your Eyes.

I saw Dolly Blunt last Sunday well in Spirits, and saw Mr. West the Painter and his Wife, He is painting fine pieces for the Kings House or Chapel at Windsor. I saw there young Trumbull, who had just finished an excellent Portrait of your acquaintance Mr. Temple. I think Trumbull will do well. I saw a most exquisitely fine marble Bust of you at Mr. West’s, I never saw a finer or more resembling. You say in that Bust—Ye are very welcome to claim all ye please. I do not care. Some thing like what you said to me in Jan. 1778. A good morrow, Dear Sir I am your most obliged and Obedient Servant
