Grosvenor Charles Bedford to Peter Elmsley
Pleased at a letter from PE - then shocked to see that it was dictated to his niece. Regards from Hallam. Proposes a visit - will stop by Dropmore on the way back. Has been in communication with Lord Grenville, and hopes Lord G. will not be disappointed in him when they meet. May see Wynn at Dropmore on his way to see PE...if he can be spared from the Cabinet.

On canvassing on PE's behalf in an election (v.440f). A (modern) pencilled note on the back claims this election concerned the preachership of Gray's Inn - this is incorrect (the Gray's Inn preachership changed in 1811 and 1815), but in 1812 William Van Mildert was elected to the preachership of Lincoln's Inn.

Bigge has seen a Dr Holland - all are united on the sort of exercise PE should take, and also that he should not go to Paris. Has been to Waddon and heard that PE has enquired about a horse - strongly urges the risks of this, and to allow him and Bigge to purchase a chaise instead. (Note from Wynn - supports Bedford in every detail.)

Glad to hear from Kidd and Mrs Elmsley that PE is better. Exhorts PE to take exercise, and to allow Bedford (who has been in conversation with Bigge) to purchase a chaise on his behalf.

Urgently persuades PE to take care of himself, and before he returns to Oxford to consult Dr Paris of Dover Street (John Ayrton Paris) - no reason why he and Kidd (Regius Professor should not work together, despite separation of 56 miles. PE to tell Kidd that his salary as Regius Professor is now payable at the Exchequer.
