| Description | The persistent theme of Anglesey's letters (all directed from Dublin Castle) is his determination to avoid the expense of a contested election after the bitter experience of 1830 and 1831. "Let my personal and fair constitutional interests be exerted by my family" he declares on July 17th, "but let no serious expense be incurred...I determine that Pagets shall offer both for Anglesey and Carnarvon...but I will not spend money pr be rushed by interested attorneys" (3562). It is obvious that he is far from sanguinart as to Sir Charles Paget's hopes of success; nor does he think it worth while to intervene personally in the contest despite Sanderson's optimistic eve of the poll reports (3582) and the persuasive efforts of Dr. O.O. Roberts and the Liberal element (3580) |
