W[illiam] O[wen] Stanley, Penrhos, Holyhead to Viscount Clive,

He is in Anglesey on the same business as his lordship is in Ludlow. He has no doubt that the Committee will print the petition from Oxford. If petitions will carry the point there are plenty. As the Government has had one beating it may have two, and perhaps it will. Many members will find that they can vote against the Government.

W[illiam] O[wen] Stanley from ?B.... Cottage, Niton, Isle of Wight, to the Earl of Powis,

He encloses a sketch of a plan which is considered to be a good one to adopt, and meets with the approval of the Bishop of Winchester. It is not proposed by the means they are adopting now to relax in their endeavours to save the bishopric in North Wales, but rather to obtain that desirable end by removing one main objection brought against them. The necessity of forming a bishopric at Manchester and adhering to the first plan for its endowment removes that difficulty. He has written to Douglas Pennant, who suggested this plan some months ago to the Bishop of Bangor. The latter, for an unknown reason, rather opposed it. He will be glad to hear his lordship's opinion, and they can, if it is considered advisable, adopt the plan at the meeting to be held at his lordship's house on the 28th.

W[illia]m Morgan, Lond[on], to Francis Herbert, esq., at Bromefeild near Ludlow, Shropshire,

Lady Arabella and Lady Alse came to his lodgings last night. Latter signed a writing to her counsel Mr. Thornhill that she desired but £200 to be raised at present and was willing for the future to accept of her maintenance out of the Irish estate. The matter between them will be settled in court next Wednesday. Herbert ought to thank his aunt. Refers to Herbert's love.

William Lake, Twickenham, to ?,

Preparing to go to Bath. Recipient's health. Hopes to find recipient on their return to London ready for a Poole at Quadrile. Settled the affair with Mr. Tinte. Miss Mason to be married to Mr. Trotter, a former curate of this place. Compliments to Mr. Herbert.
