"Although most probably you have many letters from Lord St. Helens later than mine, yet I send Parker [Admiral Hyde Parker?] with mine of the 5th June; and also some others which although most flattering to my vanity will not I trust be unacceptable to your Lordship. In the course of the morning I shall do myself the pleasure of being at the Admiralty."
