My Lord

      Am glad to perceive by yr Servt tht you ar in good health, I  cannot say so much of my self for I have not been very well for these many months past, not being able to walk twenty yards without a great pain in my back, so tht I am forced to have a chair <carried> if I do but walk in the garden but in case It were otherwise with me I must beg yr pardon, for the little interest I have is ingaged for Mr Sharp, &  am sure you wd not have desire I should be worse then my word,

      Nor can I go up nor down stairs without help, so I doubt not but you will Excuse me

      Yr Lordships most  Faithfull Humble Servt



Ld. Castlecomer
Wandesford was 2nd Viscount Castlecomer and MP for Ripon 1715-19. His father was a local man and cousin of EB’s second wife Mary Yorke
