ALS signed “George R,” seven pages on two sets of adjoining sheets, 7 x 8.75, no date. Letter to Lord Keith. In part: “I might answer you in the same mode as it appears to me that Mr. Dundas has wished to adopt this writing a letter upon nothing, merely for the sake of conveying to me, that he is offended at the line of conduct I have adopted to him, as if it was not owing to that sniff impertinent & open breach offenth which so far from denying he appeared to glory in, to judge from the letter which he wrote me now almost two years back, which I showed you the other day, and of which no one can be so perfect a judge as you were present at the Interviews which took place between Mr. Dundas & myself, but I had…completely the drift of Mr. Dundas in his letter, which to strike the first blow…It occurs to me to come to the point as shortly as possible & to dismiss trifling circumstances for things of greater magnitude. The prospect of the mission you have been so good as to undertake, was not to keep open a heart, but to endeavor to heal one, if such was upon trial found to be the inclination of Mr. Dundas, & which I should think he in particular but like other ministers ought in every account to wish especially at such a serious moment as the present one is to them & to the whole nation pregnant with every merit of mischief, & ready to thrust over their heads. You were not to discuss merely the affairs of Ireland but many other topics with him; the affairs of Ireland merely as far as it was my wish to you there, for the sake of conciliating the minds of men in that country.” Accompanied by the original 8.75 x 7 mailing panel which retains its original red wax seal. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature.
