Summary
Saying that he had hopes that a deputation would have weight with members of both houses and lead to a settlement, but if the principal declines to join it, "there is no doubt that under existing circumstances, his holding aloof would be significant and would greatly impair the representative character and the weight of the Deputation;" adding that they may learn before April what course of action the Duke of Argyll and his friends have decided to take.
