Carteret did tell me, that the business
is done between him and my Lord Anglesy; that himself is to have
the other's place of Deputy Treasurer of Ireland (which is a
place of honour and great profit, being far better than the
Treasurer's, my Lord of Corke's,) and to give the other his of
Treasurer of the Navy; that the King, at his earnest entreaty,
did with much unwillingness, but with owing of great obligations
to him for his faithfulness and long service to him and his
father, grant his desire. My Lord Chancellor, I perceive, is his
friend in it; I remember I did in the morning tell Sir H. Cholmly
of this business: and he answered me, he was sorry for it: for
whatever Sir G. Carteret was, he is confident my Lord Anglesy is
one of the greatest knaves in the world. Home, and then find my
wife making of tea; a drink which Mr. Pelling, the Potticary,
tells her is good for her cold and defluxions. To Sir W.
Batten's to see how he did; and he is better than he was. He
told me how Mrs Lowther had her train held up yesterday by her
page at his house in the country which is ridiculous.
