Publisher's Synopsis
I can write but just now a few lines. I cannot tell how to bear the sound of that Mr. Belford for your executor, cogent as your reasons for that measure are: and yet I am firmly of opinion, that none of your relations should be named for the trust. But I dwell the less on this subject, as I hope (and cannot bear to apprehend the contrary) that you will still live many, many years.Mr. Hickman, indeed, speaks very handsomely of Mr. Belford. But he, poor man! has not much penetration.-If he had, he would hardly think so well of me as he does.
