Scope and content
Embossed notepaper, Escrick Park, York. - Did not know there was an ailing poet in Escrick [Robert Ripley]; will ensure he does not starve; poet's eldest brother has army prospects, 'the rest of the family are not very interesting'. Regrets Lord Derby's defeat, as Lord John Russell can only agitate the country with a radical Reform Bill; Milnes' prospects at Pontefract.
