X/POOLE/160
LETTER: Lord Bulkeley from Inglehill Green to Poole. He regrets the hasty opposition to the Menai Bridge project, before the engineers have had a hearing. However, Sir Robert must ’swim with the stream’ and he has advised him to subscribe £50. He has also given him directions on how to counter any attacks of Wardle. He complains that Sir Robert does not look after his papers in a methodical manner. Asks Poole to keep Sir Robert apprised of the situation, and instruct him to guard against the attacks of Wardle and Assheton Smith. In a postscript he thinks it would be wise to consult Lord Uxbridge over Sir Robert’s proceedings, but urges Poole to sound him out first.
