LETTER III
MR. BELFORD, TO RICHARD MOWBRAY, ESQ.THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
DEAR MOWBRAY,
I am glad to hear you are in town. Throw yourself the moment this comesto your hand, (if possible with Tourville,) in the way of the man wholeast of all men deserves the love of the worthy heart; but most that ofthine and Tourville; else the news I shall most probably send him withinan hour or two, will make annihilation the greatest blessing he has towish for.
You will find him between Piccadilly and Kensington, most probably onhorseback, riding backwards and forwards in a crazy way; or put up,perhaps, at some inn or tavern in the way--a waiter possibly, if so,watching for his servant's return to him from me.
***
His man Will. is just come to me. He will carry this to you in his wayback, and be your director. Hie away in a coach, or any how. Your beingwith him may save either his or a servant's life. See the blessedeffects of triumphant libertinism! Sooner or later it comes home to us,and all concludes in gall and bitterness!
