Asking him "whether you are determined to take root in America, or ever to be transported home again?" apologizing for not writing by saying "I am jaded to death. The Irish Parliament have struck off Jerry Dyson's pension. The Duke of Cumberland and his Duchess are returned and are forbidden the court. But it is supposed all this will soon be made up."
