Summary
Writing that "It was very good of you to send me the sheets of Tallyrand's correspondence and adding that he has sent the volume off; expressing his agreement with Bentley on the "state of things" in the Commons House of Parliament, and citing the "refusal of Lord Cabot's ministers to vote thanks to the army" and the five members of government "walking out of the House when the vote for the Beaconsfield Memorial was taken" as a sign of "the temper of the times", and stating that "I fear that it will have its way & run its course"; mentioning Bentley's "very painful illness" and that he is glad that he appears to be better and wells enough "to look in upon business."
