He had many opportunities of doing it. The Duke of Marlborough having obtained of the Queen, that Cardonnel should be Secretary of War, as a reward for his services, when the war was ended; which he hoped would be soon, and the Queen having allowed Mr. Cardonnel to kiss her hand upon thatpromise, but to let him go over with the Duke of Marborough that campaign or another, if the war happened to be not concluded, Mr. Walpole was so low then, that he executed this place for Mr. Cardonnel, and atten...
