   “Mr Spencer’s letter was dated from London, without his particular address being mentioned. May I then request Your Lordship, who must have frequent opportunities of communicating with him, to inform him, when convenient, that our humble efforts shall be earnestly offered, in union with those of his other numerous Associates, for the attainment of the great object, about which he and they are so justly solicitous.
   I avail myself of this opportunity to wish Your Lordship from my heart many happy returns of the coming Festivity and to express anew the sentiments of respect and attachment, with which I have the honour to be
   My dear Lord,
   Most faithfully Yrs.

   • D. Murray
     The Right Revd Doctor Walsh.”
