Parte de Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
Must 'express with the greatest grief [his] shortcoming' in failing to vote for Milnes at the Travellers Club; had asked Lady Arundel 'twenty times' to remind him to be there in time, but people came for dinner and somehow it was forgotten until half past twelve; 'would not have been absent for a thousand pounds'. Has not heard the result but trusts it will be all right, 'though Stafford does say no man above thirty ever can get in there'.
