From Lord Palmerston   6 June 1826

Haymarket

6 June

My dear Sir

Ld Clive will come & will bring Swainson with him.

Pepys should be requested to continue a plumper if he can do so, for I am by no means in a state of security though in one of hope. I have reason to think that Copleys promises do not exceed 700, Bankes's 600 and Goulburns 500; we may poll 650 & if we do we shall be winners We have 680 promises of which I think we cannot account for more than 50 defaulters if so many.

Yrs sincerely

Palmerston
