38. Letter from Dr. Miles Whitworth to a member of his family, evidently his father. Personal. He has chosen not to go into the government's service for political reasons: "let the Matter be settled ever so amicably, there will always subsist private piques and resentments between the Parties, so that I should be in the number of those who are stigmatised with the Names of Ministerial Friends. Enemies to their Country &c. which I have hitherto happily escap'd; and tho' they are Titles which no honest man will regard, yet they are such as every prudent one wou'd wish to avoid." Duplicate. Holograph.
