[Text added at head of copy letter and which appeared in the printed version:]
Extract from a letter from J Losh Esq to Earl Grey
The Earl Grey Government House. Plymouth.
My dear Lord Grey
To my great surprize I have this moment received the letter which I enclose - and it seems to me best to forward it at once to yourself without mentioning it to anyone.
Mr Beaumont has thought proper of late to write to me very frequently and I have without reserve given him my opinion upon every part of his Conduct. I need scarcely add that he has not followed my advice in any one respect.
It has given me sincere pleasure to hear favorable accounts of Lady Grey’s health. Sir, J Swinburne tells me that you find a difference of 8 degrees of temperature between Howick and Plymouth- are your observations correctly made at both places? The difference is much greater than I had reason to expect, from my own experience, and what I have heard from others.
Believe me always
most truly yours
James Losh
Newcastle Tyne Febry 21st 1824
JGL A40/9. See letter from Beaumont to Losh of 19th Feb. The only part included in the printed version is from the opening sentence, viz. ‘I have this moment received the letter which I enclose - and it seems to me best to forward it at once to yourself without mentioning it to anyone’
