Title
Lord John Cavendish at Leicester [Leicestershire] to Philip Gell - as he could get no clear picture of what was happening at Leicester, his brother Frederick and himself decided to go there and report to the Duke - found that Coke had promises from the larger part of the resident freemen - have hitherto kept themselves perfectly neutral, but it would not be proper to continue so and allow the ill blood and mischief of a contested poll - if Gell finds that he has little chance of success, a timely retreat would oblige every.
