My Dear Mr. Brittan,

—Lest in the hurry you might not hear it so soon otherwise, I write to say that the guarantee has been accepted by the Company; and that as soon as the Government consents (probably in a day or two) the mischievous contingency will be at an end.

Please tell Chapman. The work was not over till five o'clock in the City; and I was too much beat to think of any whither but home.

Ever yours truly,

E. G. Wakefield.
