Enclosing a letter from Mr Henning and reminding him that "our Party can now, as they have done before, return the four members, against the other Party - This was done, in the strong contest when Lady Bath could not be prevailed upon to sign the deeds in Time. I think that as Sir John Johnstone is too ill to act, that it may be fairly so stated to Mr. Percival - and I think also, that Mr. Percival to whom Sir John Johnstone, has in some measure entrusted the Case of the Borough, should know the State of the Borough...The fact is, that after my Letter to Mr. Henning, and the meeting at Weymouth, that Sir John Johnstone considered us both as his Enemies. I think Mr. Henning cannot apply to him. The Point comes shortly to this - If Mr. Henning does not get the Place, and this is refused, the Borough is lost - after Supporting you, & securing your Seat, I shall act with Mr. Henning."
