Impressed with a lively sense of your Merits and wishing to give a proof of my favorable opinion of your conduct, particularly at the Seige of York, I thought I could not take a method more acceptable, than that of communicating my sentiments to your Noble Relation the Marshal Duke de Broglis, which I have taken the liberty of doing in the inclosed.

I shall be happy in hearing that you have perfectly recovered your Health and the use of your Limbs, as I am with very sincere Esteem Sir Yr most obt and hble servt.
