My Dear Lord
About twelve months ago, when Mr Wailes was not expected to live, Ld Grey and You expressed to me an anxious Wish, that Mr Grey of Millfield, in the event of a Vacancy, should be appointed one of the Receivers of the Greenwich Hospital Estates in Northumberland. I acquiesced and I believe some communication was made to Mr Grey at the Time, which may have led him to expect the offer of this appointment from me on the first occurre

Mr Johnson handed me your obliging lre of the 1st Inst which attentively considered & upon which I will proceed to give my opinion.

B of T, [Board of Trade?] Decr 3 1832
Dear Sir James
I leave no time in giving you, as you desire, my opinion on Mr Grey’s letter, in the first place premising that the candid & business-like manner in which he expresses himself does him much credit and fully justifies the offer which you have made to him – The points upon which he appears most to feel hesitation are, the pledge to have no avocation from the duties of the Receivership, the residence at Hexham, and the amou

My dear Lord
I am very sorry that Mr Grey should have taken the trouble of coming to London for the purpose of having an interview with me. I had endeavoured to make the original offer to him in very explicit terms; and they did not admit of variation, since Mr Brandling is treated unjustly, if Mr Grey be favored by the conditions of his appointment differing materially from those, which Mr Bra

Dinner with Beaumont at the Recorder's Club. It was the anniversary and Mr. Dixon was in the Chair. Most of the party were of the Tory faction, but everything went off very well and with apparent good humour.

Mr Cookson applied to me about the Lease of the Lead wharf, which he for the first time had discovered to be a 14 years Lease, and not 21 years as he had supposed – consequently of comparatively small value, as the Corporation Laws make 21 year lease to be renewable from time to time, [underlined: ‘without any additional rent’], whereas 14 years leases are re-valued at the end o
Letter – John Fonblanque to John Bell – 9 Jan 1833
Sir,
I am wishing to hope that I ought not to ascribe your not having answered my last letter respecting Mr Scott to any unkind feeling towards me My motive was to ascertain whether that suffering individual had a claim which if established would somewhat alleviate his suffering & in applying to you I give you credit for that good feeling which would secure to him your sympathy in aid of my wish that he should have justice – your general character justifies the continuance of my
