Copy
Pall Mall, 26th April 1783
Sir,
The Duke of Portland [William Henry Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland,1738-1809] received yesterday your letter of the 11th instant, together with a copy of that which you had before written to Mr.Rose.
I have his Grace’s commands to inform you that he is not unacquainted with the Honourable and essential services which you have rendered to the public, in your present department, and to assure you that it is not his intention to confine the acknowledgement of those services to words only.
His Grace conceives that your abilities may be more usefully employed than in the Consulship of Malaga, and I have his orders to say that he hopes to find some early opportunity of employing those abilities in such a manner as to reconcile a reward for the part with the securing your futures services to the public. This is what I have had in command and it is a great satisfaction to me that in obeying it, I express myself to a gentleman for whose public and private character, I have a very high, because it is a very just, respect.
I have the honour to be Sir
Your most obedient and very humble servant
Signed Richard Burke
John Marsh
