May 11th

Sr

        I have the Pleasure of inclosing to you the Notification from Ld Sydney of his having presented your Address to his Majesty. 

        You & your Gentlemen who are friends to the Repeal of the Test & Corporation Acts, will not be much mortified at the Defeat in that Question, when you observe it was affected only by a Majority of 20.

        I am Sr with great respect

                        Your obliged

                                    humble Sert 

                                                H Duncombe

Mr W. Wood
