R3/2904

Reads- I do not know that I ever felt more offended with anything than with Mr. Morris' letter to you...impudent...ought not to allow the Duke to be held out as an enemy to the labouring classes...a great[er] untruth than this never was invented. Barley & Whitbread. Outlying votes. 5 Dec. 1832 [on back p. copy of Morris' letter to Crocker] Hopes plan resolved on will be accepted. If such men [as the Duke] will not come forward in such times, it will be impossible things can go on with so large a population of agricultural tenants very low in pocket & barely able to go on. 1 Dec 1832
