The Founders of Canterbury

Reigate, 18th January, 1850

Reigate, 18th January, 1850.

My Dear Rintoul,

—The facts are safe. I know the danger, and have been on my guard.

It is a sad pity that the Sidney Stephen appointment should not be noticed in this Spectator. It would dumb-found Downing Street and Broad Street Buildings.

I will send a Postcript notice of the rumours by the train which leaves Reigate at 12.53.
