printed. If they are not ready my next and last Courier
shall bring them to you. Here is a Commission [for] L d N
& G (North & Grey), which tho' it may not be perfectly
according to form will I hope be sufficient. I see very few
alterations to be made in the new draughts you send me,
so I shall get them printed, and sent back to you in a few
days.
" As for mony matters I think the more can be carry'd
with myself the better, but upon examination I cannot
possibly carry the seals along with me, and so I shall be
forced to send them back by Booth, and hope you may be
able to find a secret way of conveying them to me, if you do
not bring them yourself, tho' after all as the secret is the
main point, one had better leave them behind than risk

the form of that to the University, so I send you them back
with the changes I have made. I will endeavour to make
all such papers of a piece, and even in material points, to
repeat the same words.*
" If you can you may print them at Paris with all the
right forms which we have not, and add yourself the
compliment to D. 0. (Duke of Ormond). I hope this will
find you quite recovered. Pray show the 3 letters I return
you to the Queen."

" Instead of setting out on notice that ye Duke of Ormonde
is gone from Paris I would humbly advise y r Maj ty to wait
till I send a Courier to inform you y* he is saild from La
Hogue, and to give you such other intelligence as be will
send me, in pursuance of what I have concerted with him
* These proclamations of considerable length, to the Universities and the
Army and Navy, were pi'inted at St. Germain and appear amongst the
Stuart Papers. They have, however, far less interest than the various holo-
graph letters of Lord Boliugbroke which adorn these pages.
t Another part of this letter is published by Lord Stanhope in the
Appendix to his 'History.'
