Dear Mr T.

You may rely on my doing all I can. But should you not present a Petition at once to the Lords? I could then state your case & the mention that this was the same Railway ² formerly G W before the House – This would have a good effect.

I agree in all you say as to the futility of the assents & dissents – I think of forming an order to exclude all bills which have not a majority of assents – absolutely. and I will try so to prove it as that each three miles must have such a majority – viz 2/3 –

My Kind regards & respects to Ly E. ³ You should lose no time. If you wish to see me come tomorrow mn^g to H. of Lds from 10 to 4. & I will come out to you in the Robing Room –
