HENRY HYDE, EARL OF CLARENDON, 1705. 297
very many concernd. And since I am on this purpose, I have inclosed a
proposition of another nature, of no hurt to any, and, as I think, convenient
for the crown, — which consider, and move in it or not, as your Lordship
judges fitt, only lett none know of it who will not be for it ; and excuse this
too great incroachment on your tyme by, my Lord,
Your Lordships most obedient humble servant,
Ckomertie.
241. Henry Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, to [George first Earl of
Cromartie].
London, November 20th, 1705.
My Lord, — I have too long delay'd returning my thanks to your Lord-
ship for your letter of the 1 1th past, and for all your favours in minding the
concern of my grandchildren, and particularly for appoynting Mr. Mackleod to
be our factor. I humbly aske your Lordships pardon for my omission, which
I hope you will forgive. I have had an account from Mr. Mackleod of his
proceedings, with which I have reason to be well satisfyed ; and I have
return'd my answer to him by this post. I am in great hopes to have her
Majesty's favour in giving a new grant to my grandson, which will obviate
all doubts ; and, as we proceed, I shall take the liberty to informe your Lord-
ship, and begg your assistance in perfecting it. I shall not take upon me to
give your Lordship any account of our publick affairs, knowing you will be
inform'd thereof by more authentick hands ; soe that I haue nothing more to
add, but to beseech your Lordship to believe that I am, with all possible
respect, my Lord,
Your Lordships most faithfull and most humble servant,
Clarendon.
