LETTER: Col. Perceval, Upper Harley St., London to Lord Newborough. He thanks him warmly for the compliments of the season and for the basket containing hares, pheasants and woodcocks. He hopes that young master Wynn and his sisters are in good health and that master Wynn has regained his usual smiling countenance. He writes of the prevailing troubles in Ireland stating that the expense England is bearing to support the Irish people is uncanny because of the famine. The remainder of the letter is occupied with the political implications of the Irish crisis with Lord Stanley leading the attack on the government in the House of Lords and Lieutenant Bentruick in the Commons.
