From J. G. Fulburne [?]

The Easton. - On the death of Robert Pemberton Milnes; [Viscount] Galway called on him this morning with the note from Milnes and the sad news. Intends to leave here tomorrow by morning train for Fryston; Milnes need not trouble to have him met at the station.

Bawtry. - Bland's wife's convalescence and his sister's accident; doctor at Worcester assured him that breaking a bone late in life ultimately restored the constitution; hopes Miss Bland's fracture will permit some movement. Heavy rain welcome here but disastrous at Thorne: 'my first wrath at the corn bill - it is quite coming back'; duty-free imported wheat urgently needed to lower prices if harvest fails; great local distress; is employing many he does not need; sketch of local characters. Milnes' wife has been at court, but Galway's entrée to the Queen's stables through Lord Rosslyn is probably more valuable.

Postscript: hopes Bland will rally resistance to new turnpike proposed for the Castleford-Ferrybridge road; he himself is disinterested, but objects to their proliferation. Encloses the Chartist Weekly Despatch which he would like to keep. The Captain is to take out the Mauritian Governor and has a handsome entertainment allowance. Is glad to hear better accounts of Bland's wife and sister. Additional note by F. J. Monckton.

B[awtr]y. - Uncertain visiting arrangements for Easter; possible inclusion of Mr Disraeli - 'Whatever be his morale, I find both a use & an enjoyment in the occasional society of a man of rare intellectual accomplishment - & this undeniably he is'; continual rain; Galway rowing over his estate; poor prospects for Oxford crew [in University Boat Race] in flimsy racing boat]. Railway dealings with Cooke and others; Bill now less likely to pass this year.

P[all] Mall. - Milnes' accident; delighted to provide shooting for Lord Galway; cannot visit Milnes in October as he will be in Scarborough; has forwarded Milnes' letter to Richmond in Boulogne; talents of Milnes' son Richard.
