Sir

       As we have a very great regard to the Int[erest] of the present happy Establishment so it gives us pleasure to have the pursuall of anything wrote in its Defence and as the daily Gazette woud furnish us with an Earlyer opportunity (by having it directed to us) than we at present have, we take the liberty of desiring it may be directed to us if it can be done without giving you much trouble. We see Several friends of the Goverment  have that paper thrice a week Gratis which is as often as we have the post, & as none have a greater regard to  the Goverments Int[erest] than we, you will we hope the more readily oblige us with it. Mr Thomas Airey Fuller in Newcastle upon Tyne One of the greatest Advocates the Governmt has among our Northeren Pollititions & a pticular friend of ours has desired us to beg the same may be directed to him. We hope you will pardon this freedom & excuse the trouble given you by

       Sir Yrs &c
