Letters from Sir George Osborn. Have offered Alston & Orlebar 2 ensigncies without purchase. Old Whitbread is danerously ill, & his son inclined to make an attempt unless he finds my efforts leave him no chance of success. Get additional names to our County Club, as that measure, well established, will shut all door of hope to a future candidate.
