Rules of the Magpie and Stump Debating Society: 10th edition, 1907

Addressed to 'Doctissimus Viator'. Plans for meeting to be held on the 9th [re railway?]

Grosvenor Square. - Is sorry not to have ben at home when his correspondent called; would have been better able in person to explain why he cannot 'meet Mr [R. P.] Milnes' wishes in reference to an exchange of Lives, on the renewal of the Bawtry Leases'. Explains that a Bill introduced by the Archbishop of Canterbury is currently before Parliament which will prevent this, and since he is himself one of the Church Commissioners and gave his sanction to the Bill a few months ago, would 'not have felt at liberty from that time to treat for the exchange of a Life in the Bawtry, or any other of the Life Leases under the See'.

Endorsed in another hand, perhaps the recipient's: 'to be sent to Mr. Milnes. arrived quite well'.

Fishlake Vicarage, Doncaster. - Sends a receipt for the half-year's rent which he received at the bank on Saturday; asks Dickinson to sent it to Milnes. Receipt written out on second f., dated Fishlake, 5 Feb. 1859: 'Received of R. Monckton Milnes Esquire the sum of Fifty Five pounds being half a year;s reserved rent due to me as Vicar of Fishlake on the 2nd Feb-y 1859 under the provisions of a Lease from the Dean and Chapter of Durham'.

Note of quarterly rent due 1858-1859 written out in a different hand on second sheet.

26 Pall Mall. - Has received Milnes' 'present of Poplin, which is exactly suited to my tastes'; sends her thanks, and hopes that 'next year you will have frequent opportunities of judging if it be becoming'. On receiving Milnes' letter this morning she forwarded his parcels and books to Lord Galway. Asks if Milnes can send her the key of his bookcase, as there are 'two Ladies occupying the apartments who are a leetle particular, & consider the books in their present arrangement or rather disorder (for some have evidently been thrown in in a hurry) are unsightly'. Sends her regards to Milnes' parents, and her 'compl[imen]ts of the season' to him.
