The Founders of Canterbury
Reigate, 6th April, 1850
My Dear J. A. Smith,
—I enclose an extract from a letter just received from Lord Lyttelton. It is all he says on that subject. In order to comply with his request, I ought to see you, about drawing up the paper. I would meet you any where early on Monday morning. Notwithstanding his good will, I believe that time will defeat the object of both parties. I firmly believe that every week's delay throws away £15,000 cash.
