One of a group of letters about the election of the Duke of Devonshire to the Chancellorship.
Written from 9 Grafton Street.
Ealing. - The Perceval papers are in disarray following collapse of a wall at Mr Perceval's house in Lowndes St; Walpole's son thinks there is nothing new relating to Robert Pemberton Milnes but will check, he believes Milnes' discussion of the Chancellorship with Perceval was verbal.
Ealing. - Houghton missed a good meeting of the Literary. Will seek details of Robert Pemberton Milnes from his son, whose book [The Life of the Hon. Spencer Perceval] has cast new light on Spencer Perceval. Hopes bouleversement among the Liberals will result in unsensational politics.
Letters dated 1 Apr. 1852 from Whitehall; 6 Apr. 1859 from the Carlton Club, and 22 Apr. 1859, no location given.
