GENTLEMEN,

AS my Couſin Mr. Horace Walpole, has
declined offering himſelf again as a Can-
didate to repreſent the Borough of Lynn, ac-
cording to the declaration which he ſent laſt
Week to the Mayor; and as in Conſequence
of that Notification, I have preſumed, by an-
other Letter to the Mayor, to offer myſelf a
Candidate at the next general Eleſtion, with
the Approbation and Conſent of all my Family,
I take this Method Gentlemen, as the ſpeedieſt,
of defiring your Votes, Intereſt and Support
towards obtaining the Honour of repreſenting
You in Parliament, which has been ſo repeat-
edly conferred on one of my Name, truſting
chiefly for my Succeſs to my ſteady Adherence
to thoſe Public Principles, which have met with
ſuch diſtinguifh'd Approbation.

If I am so happy to receive the fame Ho-
nour, I ſhall think it my Duty, to give the
utmoſt Attention to the particular Intereſts of
the Borough of *Lynn*, and gratefully acknow-
ledge myſelf on all occafions,

GENTLEMEN,

Your moſt obliged,
And moſt obedient Servant,

London, March, 18th.
1767.

THOMAS WALPOLE.
