"18 Novr. 1862.
"MY DEAR SIR,
"I have had a long interview of two hours today with Mr. Berens, Mr. Colville, and Mr. Maynard; but I am sorry to find that matters have by no means progressed so far as I was led to expect.
"I think I ought now to see Mr. Baring, Mr. Glyn, and yourself as soon as possible.
"Can they and you come here on Thursday at any hour not earlier than 2.30 nor later than 4? If that will interrupt other business, I could propose 11.30 on Friday at Thomas' Hotel.
"Yours sincerely,
"NEWCASTLE."
