| Title | John Wilkes to same: provides an introduction for M. de Beaumont, "a gentleman of real merit and genius" ... "I suppose that I am to be outlaw'd next term. I will only say, for thee, fair freedom, wellcome all the past, for thee, fair freedom, wellcome e'en the last ... I am not sour'd by the persecutions I have suffer'd and the treachery I have met with, but I regret exceedingly the losing your society and that of a very few more ... You are [aware], my dear Mr. FitzHerbert, as to my dislike of your parliament friends. I honour you for so virtuous a connection, and the very name of Cavendish is dear to me, and to every true son of liberty. I love the head and every branch of that illustrious family .... I beg to be remembered affectionately to your son whom I began to love very much. My best compliments to our agreable friends of the Beef Stakes whom I think of oftner than Saturdays". 10 September.
