Letter CXXII To D. B — E, Esq
Dec. 30, 1779.
HONOURED SIR,
Permit me to thank you—which I do most sincerely—for the kindness and good-will you are pleased to honour me with.—Believe me, dear Sir, I was better pleased with the gracious and soothing manner of your refusal—than I have been in former times with obligations less graciously conferred.—I should regret the trouble I have given you—but that my heart feels a comfort, and my pride a gratification, from the reflection, that I am cared for—and not unnoticed—by a gentleman of the first worth and highest character. I am dear Sir, with profound respect and gratitude,
Your most obliged and humble servant,
I. SANCHO.
