renown and) of Yore Evrilleng the universal respect that Your Excellency has gained, a respect in which I cordially join. After I had taken leave of Your Excellency, I had a pleasant journey and arrived at the City on the 19th August.
On taking up the seals of my office, in first assuming charge I feared the difficulty of my post would be beyond my abilities, but determined to make up for my deficiencies by assiduous labour.
As you know, I tried to have the advantage of your counsel and friendship (literally, I hope for many letters, but it is really only a formal asking for friendship), which I shall value exceedingly.
I have heard that Your Excellency intends, when the weather is cooler, to visit Canton. If you travel up the Pearl River, I sanguinely hope that I may again have the felicity of meeting you.
In the meanwhile, I beg to thank you for all your kindness to me and to express a fervent wish for your happiness and prosperity.
