I trust this arrangement will be considered fair and 

 liberal, and may I beg you will write to me an answer to-

BESSBOROUGH, October 24, 1842. 

 MY DEAR POWER, 



I gave Briscoe your letter, and he will write an answer 

 as you wish. In the meantime let me thank you very 

 much for the kind manner in which you have met my 

 wishes, and I must also beg to say to the members of your 

 Committee how much I and all the gentlemen of this 

 country feel the very liberal spirit which they have shown 

 in the permission which they have given, and which is all 

 that can be desired. We shall be ready for you at Glen- 

 bower on Wednesday, and very happy to see you after- 

 wards ; and my father begs me to say how happy he will be 

 to see Mrs. Power if it should suit her to accompany you. 

 There are three or four foxes in the Park here, and \ve shall 

 be very glad to have them hunted either day. 



Yours truly, 



JOHN PONSONBY. 



(4) Acknowledgment from Mr. Briscoe.
