Content Description

She is grateful for his efforts on his brother's behalf, but he may not be aware that Lord Macartney has succeeded Mr. Macpherson. Although his talents will see him through, anything that may serve to shorten his absence would be welcome. She asks for a letter from the Duke of Dorset to Macartney and also one from Lord Mansfield. She asks that Dorset may speak to Mr. Pitt.
