My Dear son/ Having sent John Bull on the Lion/ with some luck which Mr Lawrence was conveying/ through you to the Duke, I have ventur'd to send/ you instead of John out of patience, the last effort/ of Mr Gillray - you will see it is a little at the expense/ of your friend Mr Addington, but as Fox & the new/ Coalition come in also, for their share, I hope it/ may amuse you - we are still much in the dark/ with regard to the grand plot of Paris - we expect/ however to hear of the execution of Pichegurd/ Georges as to Moreau, it is [?] he may escape/ for the present. The Flotilla made an attempt to/ come out a few days ago - but a haze of wind &/ the appearance of our ships made it [?] with/ haste & confusion [?]/ but scarcely that/ they are much inclined to indulge us. I suppose/ the plots at Paris will be another [?] for/ his [?] the grand Expedition. I am sorry/ that M.rs Lawrence has not been more successful/ in her application. I heard you were about/ to see Mr. Böttiger which I regret much on/ your account. May I request you will have the/ goodness to remember me to M.rs Lawrence & my/ other friends with many [?] to Miss Green/ [?]/ March 28th J. Maxwell
A/ Monsieur Monsieur Gore/ Weimar/ en Saxe/ Allemagne
