Dear Sir
This day the Letter annexed was returned to me.1 You see my attention: It was not my fault that it did not find you at Brighthelmstone as you had said you will be.2 I cannot now add more than my wish that I was young to unite in a crusade against the infidels of France.3 Heaven must leave them (not as it did David to his choice of Evils)4 but to the united Judgements of the sword famine & pestilence. The destroying angels are now hovering over tha [sic] most detestable of countries.
Adieu
Yrs most faithfully
Downing Septr. 17th 1792.
with the same P.S.5 Pray let me know how you & yrs do.
