Summary
Complaining that he has not heard from Mr. Hanson: "one year and a quarter have passed away, without my receiving the least intelligence on the state of my affairs, and they were not in a posture to admit of neglect, and I do conceive and declare that Mr. H. has acted negligently and culpably in not apprising me of his proceedings, I will also add uncivilly"; saying that he will stay "at Athens and in the vicinity" until he hears from England; noting that [his valet William] "Fletcher is well and discontented as usual"; asking if she ever received his "picture in oil from [George] Sanders."
