Mr. Cowper to Mr. Watts.
December 8th, 1870.
Sir,—
You must have misunderstood me, as I never thought of doing more than I have done in pointing out the limits to which I was willing to confine the discussion.
I propose to meet you on Fridays, Jan. 13th and 20th, at 7 p.m., to close not later than 10 o'clock, and speeches to occupy 15 minutes each. Other details may be arranged, as to Chairmen, etc. On this latter point of Chairmen, or umpires, or other gentlemen introduced, I trust you will see the wisdom and convenience of our joint consent. As to place, I am rather in favour of London, as central. But perhaps you may have a suggestion to make on this.
