Note 47 — THE CORRESPONDENCE OF ARTHUR LEE, (continued 5)
Reading edition
On the 25th of June, Mr Lee wrote to the Count de Florida Blanca, as follows.
“I do not press your Excellency about my coming to Madrid. I know your Excellency’s wisdom, and the maturity of judgment with which his Majesty’s councils are conducted. I therefore trust, that when such a step is thought to be proper, you will have the goodness to signify it to me through his Majesty’s Minister at this Court.”
I have the honor, &c.
ARTHUR LEE.
