| Description | Requesting his support in the coming election, "where I am confident of having the assistance of the Independent Intereswt of the County, and where I am well assured of success". Newborough's grounds for confidence were quite imaginary, for he was reckoning withour the Bulkeley - Paget agreement of 1784 whereby Baron Hill was to nominate the Caernarvonshire member (in 1790 election he was Sir Robert Williams of Penrhyn and Nant) and Plas Newydd the representative for Anglesey. Endorsed is a draft of Lord Uxbridge's reply - courteous but unmistakeably negative in tone. |
