Grantham to Baroness Grantham Discusses the 'scandalous outrage' which has occurred, [possibly the attack upon his brother Frederick's house by those protesting against the Corn Bill, which he introduced as Lord of the Treasury]. He thinks the incident was handled badly by the police, and his one regret is that more people were not shot. He has decided not to go to London, as he believes he would worsen the situation, and put himself in danger.
