From A. Carrighan   24 Jany

Dear H

I stop the press to say that Halford has just stepped in to say that he has seen Solly the younger who told him he should vote Lord P. May I report you to Carrighan? Certainly. I have therefore booked him as an absolute promise and we may look forward I think, to hear the same of his brother. He also says Fulton certainly votes with us, as also will Beaufoy. Thirlwall of Trin is an absolute promise and will manage his 2nd vote so as to advance Ld. P's election, if he should give one at all.
