Has declined offer of Chancellorship of the Exchequer; proposed himself as Secretary at War but Perceval has written to invite Robert Pemberton Milnes to join government and cannot act until Milnes' preferred office is known. Understands importance of securing Milnes as a 'doubtful friend, who might be of essential service to our cause'; would willingly take a seat at the Treasury if denied War Office.
