This serves only to cover my letters to the Duke De Chartres and his Squire as mentioned in my last. Unless you entirely Approve of these letters I beg you to suppress them. If you Approve them I could wish it may be consistent and convenient for you to see, or Write a line to, the Duke about the time they are delivered, for there is such a Mystery in my situation that it is thought you have disapproved of my Conduct.

The Alert was missing but is Arrived, And I having seen the Fox would wish to Accept of that Ship attended by the Alert in the Meantime, Unless something better is immediatly Offered and Bestowed. I shall with this Command expect Unlimited Orders. I am with the truest Esteem and Respect Honored and dear Sir Your very Obliged Servant
