Date	23 May 1773
Extent	1 Item
Administrative History	Lord Kinnoull. Thomas Hay, 8th Earl of Kinnoull [1710-1787] Previously an MP, and Ambassador to Portugal, he had retired to his Pertshire estate in 1762. Brother of Robert Hay Drummond, Archbishop of York
Description	Thanks for letter of 19 May. Preferment in the Church of England may not be obtainable. Advises Beattie not to decline any mark of His Majesty's favour which ministers may offer. Kinnoull does not think his writing again to Lord Mansfield would help. Archbishop of York cannot assist at this critical conjecture. However, business seems to be in train, Lord Dartmouth is Beattie's sincere well-wisher, and Lord North has highest regard for Lord Dartmouth
