RJ will send WW his manuscript ['An Essay on the Distribution of Wealth and on the Sources of Taxation', 1831] by coach.'We are here in the strangest position to which folly and blindness on the part of the government and impotence and stupidity on the part of the local authorities ever reduced a civilized people under regular government'. RJ got today a circular 'recommending the workmen in every parish to form a committee to fix their own wages to treat with their masters through the committee and then recommending them a la O'Connell [John O'Connell] to avoid tumult etc.'. RJ will send it to the authorities who will then neglect it.
