Content Description
He is unhappy to say that he will not be able to leave India as early as he had wished. He has so much money owed to him. It is said that
Mr. Macpherson made two or three hundred thousand pounds while in administration, but he is in utter disgrace in India and all his public measures have been reversed by
Lord Cornwallis. Macpherson treats Humphry with civility, although how genuine this is he does not know. Cornwallis takes no notice of artists.
