RJ is pleased WW has managed to buy the plot of land at Lowestoft. WW should now officially apply to the Board of Ordnance. He should also mention that Lord Monteagle's inquiry was on his behalf. Enclosed is Robert K. Dawson to RJ, dated 14 August 1851: The Board of Ordnance has determined whether the piece of ground occupied by the Upper North Battery at Lowestoft shall be sold or not. They have received numerous applications for it including one from Lord Monteagle. If WW wants to try and buy it he should apply to the secretary of the Board of Ordnance [see RJ to WW, 15 August 1851]. Accompanied by a statement signed by Whewell dated 31 Aug. 1851.
