Cannot but think that Lady Hamilton's son (nephew of the writer), has right on his side in the matter of changing his religion, insofar (only) as he obeys the dictates of conscience, even against the consent of parents. For himself, the Duke observed some indications of this approaching change, as much as four years ago; but the only point in which he can take, for his own share, the slightest blame in regard to it, is that he did not second other indications (also noticed by him) of an inclination for the profession of a soldier. The advice the Duke has given of strict self-examination is precisely what he would give, under like circumstances, to a son of his own.

Lord Montgomery's presence gives life to those who are in the North [of Ireland] already. The very expectation of it put sober thoughts into many heads.

Carr of Ballimony, & one Hall, as the writer remembers, are the principal. Others also, as malicious but more wary, publicly & privately exasperate the Scots. ... Lord Montgomery's Minister at Newton is a great railer against the present Archbishop of Canterbury, & against the writer, - &, indeed, against all [Episcopalians]. ... But, from divers of the Ministers, the writer has had private notice that "they will turn Nicodemuses, & come to me in secret". ....
