Transcript
Dear Bishop MacIlvaine
I was not well the last week your time in London, & before that I had been waiting for [Stafford House] to be uncovered. When I return about the 10th of May, I hope to show it to you, and your Daughters [unless] you [?] wish to see it sooner.
I think there is much in the accounts from America to cheer you, especially in the favorable reception of the President’s Message.
My Duke [desires] me to thank you very much for W. [?]’s very interesting Speech which you have been so good as to send him.
My kind regards to your Daughters and believe me
Yours very truly
Elizabeth-Argyll
