His Lordship cou’d not be otherwise than highly gratified at such Magnanimity His Lordship will take an early Opportunity of personally waiting upon your Excellency to acknowledge his Obligation when I am sure your Excellency will give him every satisfaction in your Power on a late Occasion

Your Excellencys / Most hble St:
