WW has sent word to William Twopeny that HJR will be preaching on Whit Tuesday. WW thinks HJR 'will agree with me that Bankes [William J. Bankes, MP for the University, 1822-26] is not the best qualified of men to represent us, and I would strongly impress upon you if you do think so the majority of coming here to help us in preventing such a catastrophe. Bankes has been circulating a letter in which he maintains that all who do not wish to emancipate the Catholics must support the opposition & vote for him; but I should hope that he will not this time succeed in such a manoeuvre you will have seen perhaps by this time that the opposition are not all to make out so strong a case against the ministry as your friend looked for - or indeed any can at all...If Bankes be returned the triumph will be for the Chancellor's party & the disgrace for the university wh. of course they care nothing for'.
