From L. Sulivan 2 June 1826

2d. June 1826

My dear Sir

Some of the gentlemen who call at the Committee state that their correspondents in the country are anxious to know what facility there is for approaching Cambridge by coaches, other than the London line - Will you inform me where the lines of communication are, if there be any, besides Huntingdon & Chesterford - You [illeg.] anticipate no difficulty in finding posthorses, for those who travel in the day.

As many applications will now be making for accommodation in College will you allow me to speak in turn for myself, Sir George Shee, Mr Middleton, Lord Clive, & Hon Clive. The two last will arrive on the Wednesday morning, & therefore not interfere with any Thursday occupants

I think we must take great care of our plumpers who are numerous & who are certainly entitled to be first considered. I wish you and I would compose a list of plumpers - stating opposite to each name those whom we consider as exchangeable - a good deal of management will be necessary in having ready such exchanges for those who are disposed to make them and such leisure to negotiate them.

In haste

My dear Sir

Yrs very truly

L. Sulivan
