The Founders of Canterbury

Reigate, 8th September, 1850

Reigate, 8th September, 1850.

Dear Sewell,

—It was impossible to persuade Brittan that he had better not try for the £300: so I had no choice but to report his view of the subject to Lord Lyttelton.

Bowler wished much to see you to day, but could not wait. Hutt is worrying him about the emigrants, having installed himself in FitzGerald's place, where he protests and dictates most absurdly. The clerks were all laughing at him to-day: it is too absurd.

Bowler told me that Jackson is to go in the Castle Eden, which surprised me; for he seemed bent to-day on being done as Bishop coadjutor.
