Further enquiries about John Fawcett (see 13).

JB has enquired about someone who turns out to be the son of their old friend George Trevilian, latterly Archdeacon of Wells (NB there is no George Trevilian, or Trevelyan, in the Record, and there is no such name in the list of Wells' archdeacons, although he was a canon 1809-1827 - but he was Archdeacon of Taunton). What name is John Fawcett now known by (see 7), why did he change it, and what part of Italy does he now live in?

Surprised that JB does not keep a cow or a pig. On the Marquis of Anglesey as Master-Gen. of the Ordnance (NB in the government but not in the cabinet). Some say that the new administration cannot last, but according to HMC Sir Robert Peel and his men will support the government. On the death of his younger brother William Paget from a stiletto wound received while in the Royal Navy in Constantinople; and Arthur (The Hon. Sir Arthur Paget), who quarrelled with the marquis as a result of his scandalous marriage. His wife's admirable cooking, using hints picked up in France.
