From W. Margetts   5 January 1826

Sir

My Son Henry is at present on the continent, where he will continue I believe some months longer. He holds in great veneration the memory of Pitt; and is consequently an advocate for the present Administration; of which Lord Palmerson (sic) is an active & most respectable member: but as His Lordship voted in favour of the Catholic Cause, I am disposed to think he must not expect any assistance in his canvass from either of my sons Thomas & Henry.

I am Sir

your most obed^t. Serv^t.
