Summary
Offering his congratulations "to you and to your worthy Brother on the happy occation of your Nephew and His sons, safe arrival in France, and believe me, Nothing on this occation is wanting to compleat my satisfaction, but to hear that those Letters, I had the very Highest gratification in writing, in his behalf were any ways useful to him; " adding that now that his nephew is safely back in France, he would like to be returned to England; detailing his role in securing the return of his nephew to France; saying "... Before - I knew of my Nephew, Lord Moira, having procured the Liberty of General Boyers return to France, by his Lordships direct application to our most gracious Sovereign - I wrote in the very strongest possible Energetic language to my Noble and generous Nephew - to restore your Nephew to his Country - and to His Family - and Had he not in the instant, he has returned from Malta, been so fortunate you may rely upon the Philanthropy of my Blessed Nephew Lord Moira's Noble Heart...;" telling him how much Mrs. Macleod enjoyed his letters and how sorry he was that he was unable to accept the kind invitations of his brother; reiterating his desires to return to England.
