AS has sketched a Memorial and Petition, on the recommendation of Mr Walpole (Cambridge University Member), to be drawn up by Mr Barrett (for Lucas Barrett's widow). It is then to be given to Walpole to present to the Treasury: He 'believes that Lord Palmerston - to whom, as Premier, falls the administration of the 'Royal Bounty Fund' - will entertain the Petition favourably'. AS thinks the petition should be accompanied by letters from some of the leading men of the University confirming Lucas Barrett's natural talent, zeal and skill in the conduct of his duties.
