26 Plymouth Grove, Manchester. - Her friend Alfred Waterhouse, architect of the Manchester Assize Courts, is dismayed to be excluded from the list of competitors for the London Law Courts drawn up by Mr W. Cowper; he has gone to London to seek consideration but 'his best hope is in Mr Bazley, our good inartistic MP'; Waterhouse does not like to ask Gladstone's help though he is a great admirer; asks if Milnes can help without Waterhouse knowing; will send a pamphlet of his which has converted a Trades Union.
