19 Upper Harley Street. - Encloses Lord Grey's letter [no longer present], which Mr McCarthy allowed him to show to Charles; needs Milnes' assistance in finding preferment; has refused living offered by Sir Thomas Sebright 'because I cannot undertake house-building'; a more retired situation without parochial duties would tempt him to settle in England.
