LETTERVII.TO EDWARD YOUNG, ESQ.
On the death of Lord ——, Son to the Duke of ——.
Richmond, April 21, 1770.
HONOURED SIR,
IBLESSGod, their Graces continue in good health, though as yet they have not seen any body—I have duly acquainted his Grace with the anxious and kind enquiries of yourself and other of his noble friends.—Time will, I hope, bring them comforts. Their loss is great indeed; and not to them only. The public have a loss—Goodness—Wisdom—Knowledge—and Greatness—were united in him. Heaven has gained an Angel; but earth has lost a treasure. Hoping you are as well as you wish your friends, I am, honoured Sir,
Your most obedient and grateful
humble servant to command,
I. SANCHO.
