Telling Wycombe that he has lost the opportunity for "high honour" with his abrupt return from Paris; writing that he must now rely on him to forward the enclosed papers (no longer with the letter), instead of presenting them in person; asking, "if the Neckers do not relish the matter", that Wycombe forward the papers to Abbé Morellet, with whom Lord Shelburne (Petty's father, William Petty) has arranged for their publication: "But would they care to send them to him? or would he care they should know of his being concerned in such a business?--These are questions which you only can decide"; welcoming him back to "poor Old England"; writing of Suzanne Necker: "You can tell Madame Necker, should any apology be necessary to a woman for making her a personage, why I thought of her in priority to her husband. I know from you, of her reading English, and my English--which is [m]ore than I know of him. Besides Ld. L. had the goodness to give me a letter [fo]r her, though I had no opportunity of delivering it."
