Haileybury - RJ has been so delayed that he thinks they must give up all notions of meeting. All the collection of materials needed for a parliamentary refutation is RJ's task. The daily press 'is a strange nuisance to combat it from day to day is an unseemingly task and lies spring up faster than they are crushed - but the daily assertions of the Times do great mischief and Tafty [a Welsh reporter working for the Times] at least believes them all. It is almost comical to know as we do that the great leniency of the welsh tithe-owners (in South Wales that is) is precisely what has given currency to an opinion there , that the tenth of the rent is all they owed and has really brought on the storm. They pay much less in proportion to produce and prices than in any other part of England or Wales and have established 4/5 of their rent-charges by agreements of their own'. RJ has been struck down by a fever.
