From A. Carrighan   Febr. 12. 1826

My dear Henslow

A thousand thanks for your two letters and the lists that accompanied them. Although I had some of the names mentioned in them already in my own catalogue and on good grounds too, of course I am glad to receive the confirmation afforded by their being now found in yours. We seem to going on pretty well - Here, however, I have been able to do nothing - I did hope to get to windward of Cripps for his 2d. vote but in vain. He seems determined to give it to Bankes. The vicar does the same with his, and says that we owe to the Duke of W. entirely his promising the first to Ld. P. The other clergymen of the place are vote-less, if I except Siverwright of Trinity who may be by this time an elector, although not now a star in the Inclose. I know nothing about him, but that I constantly see him in Anticatholick company.

I leave this place tomorrow, and shall be in Cambridge about the 20th. or 21st. If you can afford me another bulletin this week, merely put Revd. A. Carrighan Committee room, and I shall be sure to get it. Hole is still alive, & at the present moment a very little easier; but I imagine his case is a desperate one - kind rememberances to all friends,

ever yrs

Carrighan, A.
