The Founders of Canterbury

Reigate, 2nd January, 1850.

My Dear FitzGerald,

—The prospectus loots better now. I hear your article (copied into the Times) very well spoken of. It has been much read in the clubs.

I suppose you will send a copy of the prospectus to every member of both Houses, who has a country address in Dodd's Guide.

There can be no doubt that advertising is much needed. Without it, thousands who would serve the cause if they knew what it is, will never even see the Society's declaration of principles.

I hope you may consult Rintoul on Saturday about the Bill. If it should not be ready, we shall be in a mess with Molesworth: and the drawing of it before the meeting of Parliament will task the powers of a very able man.

I should like to know exactly what John A. Smith said.

Might you not go to Cooke, tell him that you wrote the Colonial Magazine article, and offer to write?

I can usefully distribute many more copies of the prospectus.
