Bereik en inhoud
RJ is sorry he missed WW in London. He encloses a proposed draft to the Archbishop which he would like WW to look over. RJ has been assured on good authority that 2/3 of both Houses of Parliament would sign before it is made public: 'I have to feel my way in some half a dozen quarters and if it is probable that it will be weightily and numerously signed then shew it to the Archbishop who should have a veto'. The 'expressed determination of a large body of clergy and laity to insist on moderation may carry us through safe - I see nothing else which can do it'. John Herschel is with him and insists on making a copy for RJ of the Address. RJ has been ill with influenza.
