"I have just this moment received your note at which I cannot express my astonishment, the honours of the academy are achieved by merit & by that alone, your brother must rise or fall. Personal application is discountenanced, how much more then must be the interference of relatives by letters, such measures are more likely to do harm than good, no one has admired your Brother's talent or spoken more of it than I have but if a case could happen where the claims & merits of two candidates were equal I should I think be disposed to lean on the unsolicited side, my vote at elections is seldom influenced by private friendship or party feeling and I have every reason to believe the same motive guides the older Members, let me therefore if you wish not to injure your Brother cause to write no more letters.I trust you will be able to .excuse my observations which may appear harsh". 18 Soho Sq. 4th Nov. 1846. Third side holed with the loss of a few letters, traces of mounting to last, blank, side.
