Copy of a letter : "Bulstrode", to Spencer Perceval, 1809 Sept. 4.

Thanking him for the "opinion you express of my readiness to lend myself in any and every way that can be imagined likely to prevent the explosion that threatens us, and to secure the King's Government in the hands of his present Servants;" discussing Canning's position saying that as he "has professed a desire upon no account to remove any person, but only to add one person more to the Cabinet, I am willing to hope that he may still be found in the same disposition he professed at Easter, and that no difficulty will be met with from that quarter : - and should that be the case, I trust that His Majesty would not object to that which in my Conscience I believe to be the only means by which the fall of His Government is to be obviated;" adding that he would like to talk with him about this after the Cabinet meeting and invites him to join him at dinner.
