Summary
Promising to lay the case of Principal Tulloch's daughters before the First Lord of the Treasury (and not before Lord Salisbury, as Knight seems to have requested); cautioning, however, that "[t]he amount to be given away is... so small; and the number of applicants is so large, that I am not very sanguine as to the result."
