File MC4/481. - C. W. Williams Wynn, Grafton Street, [London], to the Earl of Powis,

He congratulates his lordship on his success last night and begs to know its extent. Does the Government give up further opposition to the Bill on the ground of the necessity of the Queen's previous consent, or will that question be revived on the third reading? Will they oppose it in the Commons? He has suffered from influenza in both his ears and his limbs and the doctors send him to Malvern. He will return, if necessary, but fears that he will not be able to do more than give his vote as he coughs too much to speak. 'Dumb, deaf, and lame are three sufficient warnings according to Mrs Piozzi.'. Marked: 'Private'.
