Letter 25
15 December 1774
NLS: MS 25295, ff.167-168

Gloucester 15 ∧;Decr ∧; 1774
My Dear Lord

I have the honour of your obliging letter of the 5^ inst: My infirmities of ill health have kept me from London a long time and is likely to prevent my return thither; this, & especially the parliament's taking away our literary property[55] deprive me of the pleasure of obeying your commands; for I have none of the books you want, and what there are left, which I have had no curiosity to entquire [sic] after, are dispersed and gone from me, amongst the trade. I regard what you want as the effect of your friendship for me & matter of curiosity, otherwise of little worth. I am, my good Lord, your

most affectionate and faithfull humble
Servant W. Gloucester [f.168 blank]
