Lincolns Inn ¹
24 Jany 1852

My dear Sir

The case ² was reported in the Times ³ M. Chronicle M. Herald Post & New Daily News and most likely in the rest - & I saw it in 2 Evening papers. - Greater publicity could hardly have been given -

If the Athenaeum & the Lit: Gazette make no notice of it, You may in the following week have an insertion in both & in the former only to favour M^r Dilke.-⁴

I sent You a form Yesterday for the Agreem^t & Licence to M^r Locke which requires your consideration as to certain amplifications of mine -

To return to the advertisement, if You insert one it must be against the Colls ⁵ by name - if You hesitate about this, & I fully participate in Your wish for conciliation under the circumstances, they having struck their flag, I cannot think that greater publicity is needed than has been given, without an appearance of harshness -

believe me to remain Ever Your's faithfully
J H Bolton
