Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
27 Ashley Place, Victoria Street. - Milnes' kindly response; her husband [Peter Benson Maxwell] has applied for the Recordership of Prince of Wales' Island [Penang, Malaysia]; does not presume to seek a recommendation but will Milnes mention him to Mr Vernon Smith; possibility that the appointment will go to a member of the Irish Bar; little dreamed she would ever solicit an exile to the Antipodes.
