My father is quite satisfied, and so are the best part of my Leeds friends.
I amuse myself, as I walk back from the House at two in the morning, with translating Virgil.

I am at work on one of the most beautiful episodes, and am succeeding pretty well.

You shall have what I have done when I come to Liverpool, which will be, I hope, in three weeks or thereanent.
Ever yours T.B.M.

My dear Sister,--Political affairs look cheeringly.

The Lords passed the Irish Church Bill yesterday, and mean, we understand, to give us little or no trouble about the India Bill.

There is still a hitch in the Commons about the West India Bill, particularly about the twenty millions for compensation to the planters; but we expect to carry our point by a great majority.
