Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton

'Mr Green's fresh paint makes him unapproachable, whereby all the rules of the Club* are nullified'; asterisk below with the footnotes: 'There are but two. I. The Club shall dine at Mr Green's. II. On giving Mr Green notice'. The Secretary [John Sterling?] 'is gone over to Rome (though only for the winter) - and the Club is thus left without Law or Govt'. A 'Rump Steak Committee has been app[ointe]d to look to the Republick'; all those that choose can dine at Mr Cattrip's, Covent Garden, next Thursday at 7 '-Steaks, Stout & Ale ad lib. for 5/6 a head: those who drink wine do so at their own responsibility'.

In Monckton Milnes' hand?

5 Pack Crescent, Worthing - Requests Milnes' vote for Mr. William Boxall on Monday 26th; Milnes' name on Boxall's papers would be 'of essential service' to him, and since he is a 'Sterling [Club?] man' Fielding feels assured that Milnes will support him if he is in Town. Boxall is proposed by [Charles Lock?] Eastlake and seconded by Fielding, but Fielding fears 'circumstances will prevent both his sponsors being present'.
