Windsor June 14th. 1783. My Dear William You may easily conceive after an absence of near two years how rejoiced I feel as well as the Queen at the thoughts of seeing You within a day or two; I have sent M. G. de Budé to London that on the first account of the Division under Lord Hood arriving at Spithead he may set out for Portsmouth to receive You, and bring You here. He has my directions to speak very openly to You; behave as You ought and You will ever have every reason to feel the affection your Parents will have for You. He will tell you my mind is far from at ease it has pleased the Almighty to put an end very unexpectedly of the most Amiable as well as attached Child a Parent could have, may I find those I have as warmly so as He was and I cannot expect more I will not add more on a Subject that very much fills my mind and I own as strongly convinced me how very transitory all enjoyments are in this World but it the stronger convinces Me that the fulfilling every duty is the only real comfort and that our rewards must be looked for in another not this World. believe me ever Dear William your most affectionate Father George R.
