Title
Grantham, St. James's to Harris (draft, private) Grantham is extremely busy. Sir Gilbert Elliot's case is far from being what Harris thinks. (Marked'Cy') Harris did right in mentioning the prospect of his return to England out of cypher. Extreme secrecy of negotiations makes it impossible for Grantham to convey any particulars to Harris. "Heaviest load" that Grantham has "ever attempted to bear".
