Autograph letter signed : Northington, Hampshire, to an unidentified correspondent, 1831 December 2.

Declining to comment on a report of what he said in the House of Commons the previous August; writing of a "violent party feeling" which is contributing to inaccuracy in the reports of parliamentary proceedings; adding that "the principal newspapers have proceeded on an evident plan of misrepresentation so as to give weight to their own particular political opinions, and until that practice is put an end to the public have no chance of having a faithful picture of the proceedings in Parliament."
