From Lord Palmerston   8 June 1826

Haymarket

8 June

My dear Sir

We were all put into great alarm here by reports that the Poll would not be kept open on Thursday on which day many of our votes will go down. Sulivan however has just been to Goulburns Comme. & ascertained that Dr. Wordsworth confirms the arrangement which you told me would be adopted & that the Poll would be kept open till Thursday evening. It will be desirable to keep the Vice Chancellor to this arrangement as Thursday will be an important day for us. I conceive there will be no difficulty in securing this as we have the Legal Power to do so in our own hands.

My dear Sir

Yrs sincerely

Palmerston
