Excerpt from The Correspondence of the Late John Wilkes, Vol. 5: With His Friends, Printed From the Original Manuscripts, in Which Are Introduced Memoirs of His Life My acquaintance with Mr. Swinburne (and I re gret it independently of this consideration) is too slight to admit of my making any applica tion to him myself in behalf of major Gall and it is possible that he may not have it in his power (if I could) to comply with it. You, my dear sir, may be able to inform me, whe ther a person charged with a commission of the nature of that which I suppose to be con signed to Mr. Swinburne, has a latitude al lowed him to take any persons with him besides his own domestics and official assistants. If this is not the case, it will preclude all further trouble. If it is, may I presume upon the kindness which I have so often experienced from you, to entreat your intercession with Mr. Swinburne to take my friend under his protec tion to Paris? In no other respect will he be a charge upon him. There he will shift for himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
