Letter from George Sandby to the Countess of Portsmouth about executing the bond to give up the Mastership in favour of Barton Wallop when required

Transcript

Madam,

I have executed the Bond, and sent it to your Ladyship by this post; and should I be above ground will, infallibly, render it useless. And tho' my situation should not be so useful to myself as many think it will, and has been found so by my predecessors in my office, perhaps some opportunities may arrive, wherein I can be of service to others. As far as these come within your Ladyship's knowledge I hope you will apprise me of them: wherein my own is sufficient it shall be carefully applied. Whilst I am saying this, my eye casts forward to the young master to whom I wish the best ornament of a good mind, and all the friendships of fortune.

My humble duty waits on Lord Portsmouth and I am,
Madam,
Your Ladyship's most obliged and devoted servant,
G. Sandby
