From A. Carrighan 17 January 1826

My dear Henslow

We have bagged about 14 votes, comprehending those you sent us. Ld P. will furnish you with the names. A good attendance today, and things look well.

I have C. Pym Trin in my list of absolute promises but he is not in Ld Palmerston's, and it is wished you would let us know whether he is in your opinion sure, and on what authority. I must send you a very short note today and leave all other matters to Ld P. as I have such a pain in my chest that I can hardly sit upright.

So no more at present, ever yrs &

Carrighan, A.

Mrs Watson was to have started tomorrow, but her joining is postponed

Pray tell the Master that Birch has been here today and is making himself useful.
