He told me of my Lady Carteret's
trouble about my writing of that letter of the Duke of York's
lately to the office; which I did not own, but declared to be of
no injury to G. Carteret, and that I would write a letter to him
to satisfy him therein. But this I am in pain how to do without
doing myself wrong, and the end I had of preparing a
justification to myself hereafter, when the faults of the Navy
come to be found out: however, I will do it in the best manner I
can.
