2Your letter to me has been travelling about the country or you would have had a more speedy answer. Certainly I will forward the case to my father and impress upon him how much I wish the thing to be done. I am not, however, aware in what manner or to whom he will have to apply especially as Lord Sidmouth is going out of office. What can be done you may depend shall be done.
Never mind the Quarterly β you are in good company that is one comfort.
