Letter 20
26 March
1773
NLS: MS 25295, ff.157-158
My dear Lord,
I had your favour of the 18 instant; and immediately urged your request to Lord Mansfield. How it may agree with his inclination, or the present state of his court attachm[en]ts, I know not. This I am sure of, such a mark of your Opinion will be highly acceptable to him, as it is, according to the old saying, laudari a laudato Viro. I think, indeed, with your Lordship, that the publication of his Argument ∧would be∧ of high importance to the public.
my dear Lord your Lordship's
most faithfull and affectionate
humble Servant
W. Gloucester [f.158 blank]
