To Arthur Onslow Speaker of the House of Commons Berkeley Square Janry.. 27th. 1750. ~
Sir.
Since your Zeal for the Honor of the King, and your kind Concern for me and my Character interested you so far in our last Conversation as to induce you to desire me to give you in Writing, what had passed in my private Audience with the- King / which I related to you in Confidence the other Day / My- Inclination to please you, Sir, in any thing within my Power, and the Friendship with which you have long honor'd me / And of which you have given me so many Proofs both in publick and private Life / induce and authorize this additional Confidence, which I know will be as safe in your custody, as in your Breast, and will never be more known than between ourselves, Till it may be proper that it should be known to the Publick.
Since then I am giving you an account of what passed between his Majesty and me, In the Audience which I desired upon- receiving my Writ to call me up to House of Peers; allow me, Sir, to look back a little upon my own Conduct, and to explain the motives which have produced some of the Variations in my Conduct, in this Age of Variations.
Whatever my Objects may have been It is so true, that I believe it is hardly necessary for me even to assert that ever since I have had any Part to act in Publick Life, my Objects have been only for the Publick. The Medium thro'which those Objects may have been conveyed to my Mind, may have sometimes biass'd my- Heart, and often misled my Judgement, in this Age of Corruption, of more Sorts than one, and in my own Age of Inexperience. But it catchword is- /catchword
