From A. Carrighan 14 Jany 14

My dear Henslow

You may set down Watson for a promise, and Trail of Trin. as favourable. I have had a very agreeable answer to my letter from Lane, who, as no doubt you are by this time aware, giving us a vote.

We have no committee room still, but I have recommended one which will suit us - the only one it is to be had in this neighbourhood. I have not yet seen our noble Lord, but hope to do so today. If he fixes an early day for assembling his London Friends I shall make a point of attending - if he does not, I shall probably be gone to Brighton,

Mrs Watson is all but well again. I take part of their family dinner tomorrow and they send their regards to the Gothic Cottage.

May one ask the Chairman to send the enclosed letter to St Johns College? My nephew lives in the third court in [illeg.] the fellow commoners room. I wish you would send me up a list of what you have picked up since Sunday, as, not having seen Palmerston I am quite in the dark - and am growing fidgetty. Now however there is no cause for dispondency - every person, almost without exception, says Palmerston ought to be re-elected.

Watkinson of [illeg.] adverses as I am sorry to say. Ever since -- and yrs faithfully

Carrighan, A.

Tell Haverland I have seen nothing of Wilkinson, but have left the letter on the shelf of the Club.

Cook of Clare-Hall who is cordially with us, gives his 2nd to Bankes.
