On embossed notepaper for Eshton Hall, Gargrave. - Asks if Houghton will approach Colonel Mon[c]kton about a lieutenancy in 1st West York [Militia] for his grandson, Mathew Amcotts Wilson: he has spent six months at Tours and is now with a private tutor at Croydon; he is companionable and 'good, with Gun, fishing rod, or Saddle'; awkward complication of 'this Russian business'; war in France threatens the stability of Europe.
