| Title | William Roscoe, Liverpool, [Lancashire], to James Edward Smith, at N E Kindersley's, Blackheath, near London, [Kent] |
| Description | Glad of Smith's good health; hopes he keeps out of aggravating London air. Defeated in Liverpool election "with about 400 single unsolicited votes"; blames the "great animosity" against him on account of the slave trade, suspects it is sometimes conveyed "in the more popular phrase of Church & King". Encloses an address on the matter; his friends insist there were irregularities in the poll but he is fed up of the "violence, abusy, & scrutiny" of elections. |
