Document type: Holograph [misbound]
Thanks the Duke for not "dissembling" any part of his distrust of the writer, which he takes to be "one very good mark of friendship", which gives him hope of being in a fair way for the rest.
The writer has had, as yet, only obscure marks of the Duke's kindness to him. It is hard to blame him for telling the King so, rather than to blame his Grace for not giving the King "occasion to observe the contrary".
As to the stopping of Grants since the writer's succession to the Secretaryship in the place of Sir Edward Nicholas, the writer remembers but three instances - "those late three great ones, concerning the Duke himself, Lord Ossory, and Lord Anglesey, which remain yet unsigned." The suspension of these, he proceeds to contend, should be ascribed, not to enmity of the writer, or to lack of kindness in the King, but to the conduct of the Parliament.
