The note which he returns appears to him to be quite unexceptionable. It gives an accurate account of what he said when he had the pleasure of seeing his lordship at Lambeth. He has not yet received information respecting the view which the Government takes of the question but he has been promised a communication on the subject.

He acknowledges the address of the churchwardens and parishioners of Tremeirchion. Whatever his wishes may be, there are great difficulties in disturbing extensive arrangements on points of so much importance after they have received the deliberate sanction of the legislature. Copy.

A reply to No. MC1/63. He suggests Friday next [March 2] at eleven o'clock.

He acknowledges the memorial addressed to him by the archdeacons, rural deans, and parochial clergy of the diocese of St Asaph. He feels deeply indebted to the memorialists for their expressions of kindness and respect towards himself personally and cannot but approve their very temperate language. Were the measure to which they object at this time under consideration he would hardly be justified in pressing it forward in opposition to the opinions of so highly respectable a body of clergy, but it forms part of an arrangement which received the sanction of the legislature several years ago and he feels a difficulty in engaging to aid in the undoing of what was then deliberately done. He wishes he could acknowledge the memorial in a manner more satisfactory to his lordship as well as to the clergy of the diocese.

Mr. Chambers states that it would be proper for 'us' to be more particular as to the boundaries of Cwmdu before a crown lease is made.

He had read with satisfaction the report of the manner in which his lordship has advocated the claim that the bishoprics of St Asaph and Bangor should continue to retain their separate and independent jurisdiction. He has been strongly impressed by the impolicy and injustice of sacrificing these ancient dioceses. He opposed the annexation of the bishopric of Sodor and Man to the see of Carlisle and was responsible for submitting petitions to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and the House of Lords [Nos MC1/ 4,MC1/ 7]. The proposed union of the two ancient sees of North Wales produced so strong a sympathy in the Isle of Man that it was decided to present a petition, prepared by him, to both Houses of Parliament. The subject has now been brought strongly and clearly before the nation and the postponement of the motion to another session is a very judicious measure. In the interval he trusts that a more favourable impression may be raised in those powerful personages who have not taken a more enlarge[d] view of this momentous question.
