Burley. ^<1>
Nov^r 14^th – 1837 –

My d^r Talbot,

I have written today to M^r Bramwell Jun^r. He has just lost his father,^<2> which will account for M^r King’s having had no answer to his letter – It is possible that his Son may not be equal to attend [illegible deletion] to the matter for a few days, but I doubt not that he will do so with as little delay as possible.

With respect to my secession from parliament,^<3> so many reasons, social, moral, religious, & financial concurred, that it w^d be vain to attempt to describe them all in a small compass, we may however mutually congratulate ourselves at having escaped from pandaemonium.

Y^rs very truly
G Finch

H. F. Talbot Esq^r
