Malahide Castle
Sunday Octr. 27th
1833

My Dr Col Shawe

Altho’ you have shewn me no signs of life, since
my return to this land of Blessedness, yet so many
tender recollections, and historical associations, of all
that concerns you & the vice regal court of the
present day, crowd on my mind in this Castle, that
I cannot refrain from giving you a flapper and
reminding you, that, “such things were, & were to us
most dear”.—This being sentimentally observed, I shall
proceed to business, in the true Irish style, by
asking a favor—viz—will you allow me—to
name a few foreign letters (which are lying for me
at my Booksellers in London),—under cover to
you? —They are but letters! in case you
favorably “incline your ear” to my petition

will you have the kindness to frank the inclosed
for my Ministers which contains an order to
forward my foreigns letters to you.—We
shall return to Town ^\on/ Tuesday—and
hope to hear from you, de-bisée-birse,
a good account of the Lord Lieutenants
health & of the safe arrival of la
belle Excellence.—We have had
Mr & Mrs Littleton here, making
the most agreable impressions,
I grieve for the loss of my old Fogeys,
especially as there does not appear

that there are any younger ones to supply
their place at present in Dublin,
I hope Mr Spring Rice will spare us
the two or three men, old or young that
remain,—& that under the latter head
he will at least leave us him, whose
eternally devouée, I beg to subscribe myself
Sydney Morgan

I hope Miss Caton accompanies Lady Wellesley;
She is a famous Coajutor, as we say in our church—
If you have not read Manor Sackvill (in dramatic
scenes) you may expect to be read out of mine by
Bell book & Candle light!

Autograph letter addressed from "Calne", signed, to Sir Francis Baring. Writes that he arrived yesterday morning and has now a complete view of the situation, which might be summarised as a declared independence and a desire for it to be publicly understood that Jekyll’s seat is premised entirely on the support of the Burgesses. He believes that had they known how Smith had voted, they would not have given him their promises – he did not realise that their political opposition was so vehement. They speak kindly of Lord Lansdowne as an individual but consider him misled by his wife, who is unpopular by contrast. If Jekyll had declined his seat, they would have elected one of their own Body to hold the seat for Lord Henry. They said it would not be permitted and would offend them after what was intended personally towards him. Jekyll’s own opinion is that Lord Lansdowne will never have another Member [of Parliament in Calne]. His election is next Friday and he shall be in town on Sunday. In a postscript, Jekyll adds that new methods have been adopted in order to reinforce support –instead of his canvassing individually, the corporate Body has offered assistance. A select dinner given by the Corporation is now at the expense of members rather than Lord Lansdowne, as was previously the case. Greenwood and the two Savoys were dissenters, but have been directed by Lansdowne to give their votes to Jekyll.
