My dear Mrs Onslow

I can hardly express to you my
gratitude for your great kindness in
looking into the matter about
which I wrote to George:- though
so far as yet appears the matter
is not established in the manner
desired. The odds and ends of
MSS which I have in my house
I have searched in vain for confirmation
of the statement in my History about
Divine. It is absolutely incredible
to me that I would have made it without
apparently sufficient authority.

The impression on my mind is still
strong - that I derived it from the Camden
papers or from Sir W Macarthur's conversation.

You know how accurate and minute
his memory was with regard to
bygone events in his youth.
