Content Description

He has heard, from an unimpeachable source, that Sir Joshua Reynolds is in "extreme danger". Dr. Warren puts it down to an utter breakdown in his constitution. His servant is under orders to report him better than he is, but Mr. Burke has been sent for (he is the only friend Reynolds permits to see him), to arrange his affairs.

He urges that whatever the Duke may do on his behalf with Lord Salisbury or Mr. West he should do immediately.
