Not knowing where to direct to you I applied to
Mr Butler and having shown him the notice he offered to
send it to you, first telling me he thought it was proper —
The notice is not to be delivered but it is to be inserted in

Parties. —

Recollecting just now that the mode of publishing the
notices is prescribed by the Order of the House of Commons by
which they are appointed to be given I could wish if you had

necessary to the validity of it, but merely for the purpose of accounting to
