A few excerpts: "…I returned from the House of Lords….You may rely upon having my vote in August….I am under the necessity of attending in Parliament every day….impossible for me to attend the Archbishop…and the Concert in the evening…make my excuses to His Grace….I am obliged to attend in the House of Lords….both nights till two in the morning. The debate was adjourned at that hour…should of course be happy to have a little relaxation!…." Both fine.
