Has read through JM's article and feels it balanced
CJM's political career has been sacrificed to "personal vanity of a very low order of mind", votes of the working classes have been bought by "supper and shillings and packets of tea"
Chance does not approve of the Robinson candidature, he does not think that it will be possible to stand against him and win
Places himself at the disposal of CJM and Price
Will act as CJM's agent for the next general election, a deputation sent to Price seeking him to stand again
Encloses a list of persons attending a meeting to consider Liberal representation of Gloucester, the unianimous vote was to invite C J Monk and W P Price to stand
Has been persuaded to stand for Parliament again in Gloucester
Pleased at result of election
Unexpected candidature of Potter has embarrassed Price who does not wish to take an active part in the election
Thinks that the Party should offer the two Gloucester seats to the unseated MPs at the next General Election, issue of Potter and the Conservatives
Price not required to come to England, considers Potter already beaten
Has telegraphed Price to come to assist
Sorry to hear that Powell has offered himself for Gloucester as he has a seat elsewhere, there are other possible candidates, the Party needs to make a decision over who stands
Wishes the writs had been issued as he feels the Tories would not have contested Gloucester, Cornewall Lewis "a muddle-headed old prig"
Question of the issue of writs
Congratulations on result in Bar examination, problems getting a steamer from Patras to Italy, problems with Italian customs officers, death of W P Price
