Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady Lucas, sent from Forthampton. With respect to Mr Christian - though the Bishop wishes him well, he has not and doues not intend to solicit any votes in his favour for the position of treasurer of the Bedford Level. Charles Cole, who holds the post at present is 'not at all apprehensive of making a vacancy.'

12 Jul 1803

From: 1803 To: 1803

Mention of Mrs Agneta Yorke visiting Wrest. Writer laments that she gave up Tyttenhanger. Offer of venison. Bishop has received the [Clergy] Residence Bill - it seems less complex than was expected. Recommends James Mackintosh's defence of Mr Peltier [The Trial of Jean Peltier for Libel against Napoleon Buonaparte] - 'one of the finest pieces of oratory I heard in a great while.'
