RJ learnt this morning that both his Parliamentary Bills are safe. If he had not been so close at least one of them would have failed - 'but even that is but a trifling consolation for being tied up like a dog with such a small occasion. Prime reform in the manner of conducting business in the legislature and in the distribution of work among the public offices must be the work of the next generation - and a radical one too. RJ and Charlotte Jones are off to Folkestone and possibly France tomorrow. RJ's 'Law has been an amusement and consolation to me - there is no sort of obscurity hanging over either the sources of the common law or the times[,] occasions and men concerned in welding the mass - so much I am sure of and hardly know how to believe it should not have been made plain before'.
