L30/14/315/4

From Beilby Porteus, Lambeth to 2nd Baron Grantham:

1 Dec 1774

From: 1774 To: 1774

Concerning Grantham's protégé not named [John Johnson L30/14/315/27, L30/14/109/44 and L30/17]. Porteus very supportive to Grantham's "benevolent Intentions & endeavours" agrees to second them "with all his might" and procure an Establishment in a good family etc. P.S. Respects to Grantham’s brother [Frederick] and Waddilove. Bishop of Worcester (James Johnson) killed recently by [?] his horse at Bath. Bishop Ewer of Bangor also dead. "The papers gave [Porteus] that Bishopric before it was vacant". King may have different plans. Bishop North may move to Worcester, the two new Bishops will be Dr. Aurd[?] and Dr. Moore, Dean of Canterbury, intimate friend of the Duke of Marlborough.
