Summary
Enclosing his brother's reply to Daniel Wilson; saying he would like to hear "...Irving on the third great Monarch. I had rather by half & a good deal more than half hear Dr. S[tonard] - but my girl who has heard Irving last Wednesday says he is very striking & so say others & I am curious to hear him once. How very sick am I of this bad question & of the conduct of some leading men or prominent men on both sides. What in the name of conscience, or common sense, or any thing else good or bad, could induce Lord Winchilsea to write that very absurd letter about King's College?"
