Bless you, my dear son. Hester Chatham. Pitt was greatly attached to his eldest brother,^ thought well of his capacity, and was always anxious to give him such employment as he thought would be agreeable to him and at the same time not disadvan- tageous to the public service. Lord Chatham was an officer in the army, of much ability and of excellent intentions. The first employ- ment he received from his brother was that of First Lord of the Admiralty — an office in which he does not appear to h...ave been always prudent. From his dilatory habits he was called * the late Lord Chatham,' and from a letter of the Duke of Bichmond,^ published by Lord Stanhope, it would appear that five years after his ap- pointment he had never spoken in the House of Lords. It is to be inferred from the correspondence that Pitt was reluctantly forced to the conclusion in the month of November 1794 that it would be desirable to change his brother from the Admiralty to another office. ^ Bom September 10, 1756 ; entered the Army, 1778; was First Lord of the Admiralty, 1788 to December 1794; Privy Seal, December 1794; Lord President of the Comicil, 179&-1801 ; Master-General of Ordnance, 1801-6 ; he commanded the disastrous Walcheren expedition ; married a daughter of Lord Sydney ; died 1885.
