Summary
Concerning an application for aid for a Mrs. Worthington for which she has submitted her proxy; commenting that she has "no particular interest in Mrs. W. but out of the two cases which were referred to me I preferred hers in consequence of her sister, who is living at Epsom - Any more deserving object I trust you will not desert for the sake of my application, as I am a perfect stranger to the object of the enclosed - but in case you are in doubt to whom you poll your votes I venture to send this case which I believe to be a really deserving one - Mrs. Worthington being very respectable - almost blind & totally destitute;" adding, in a postscript, that she and Lord Byron "set out to ride to Dorking yesterday but I found it too far at this time of year & was obliged to return before we reached Mickleham - & thus prevented L'd. B. going over to see you."
