Admiralty. - Difficulty of obtaining a messenger's place from Baring, especially for those over 30; Milnes's protégé unlikely to succeed; own position offers no preferments except schoolmasterships; unable to visit Woburn but 'shd like to see you draw on the buskin again - histrionics... are still allowed in reformed Abbeys'; opposition to Wiesman's belief that Catholic Bishops have the right to govern Protestants. Postscript: asks whether [Kingsley's] Alton Locke will do some good.

On embossed notepaper, 'Archbishop's House, Westminster, S.W.' - Thanks for memorial of the Cardinal [Wiseman].

Everingham, nr York. - Invitation for next week; wishes Cardinal Wiseman were in England to meet them; Lord John Russell hopes to annihilate him but persecution merely adds glory to the Church; hopes Milnes will get Everingham if confiscated 'and finish off Barnes's 34'. Marcia begs Milnes to come and be converted.

Everingham. - Delighted to accept invitation to Fryston, where he always feels 'less gagged about the Pope & Cardinal [Wiseman?]' than elsewhere; cannot second his friend Arthur Duncombe's nomination for the Riding on account of disgust at religious measures in Parliament. His deep opposition to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill; ridiculous attempts of the Church of England to exert spiritual authority when it is merely a political engine. Glad to hear of Milnes' son Richard's happy match.
