Thanks WW for his quick response to RJ's draft [see RJ to WW, 11 Jan. 1850]. It has been warmly approved by the Archbishop. RJ has sent a copy to Lord John Russell, James Graham and a few others: 'I shall get at the leading Radicals next week and must somehow or other secure the Duke of Wellington and get at Oxford'. RJ knows nothing of Oxford - does WW know anyone there who can help him? RJ has altered the passage about the tribunal to satisfy the Lawyers. The 'Bishop of London's plan of passing by the Queen in Council altogether was a monstrous, perhaps unconscious, outrage on her supremacy - I take it it will not be difficult so to remodel the judicial committee in ecclesiastical cases as to satisfy reasonable people without ousting the Queen'. If RJ gets favourable answers from the leaders he will turn the draft into an original address.
