Title	T W Evans, Allestree Hall, Derby to William Longsdon. Received letter of 10 of this month, much gratified by flattering request of Central Committee of North Derbyshire Liberal Registration Society. Greatly regret unable to give positive answer until know what expedient to do in South Derbyshire. Electors there returned writer 3 times and feel bound to consult their interests and in certain degree their wishes. Deputation mentioned in William's letter would probably wish to defer their kind invitation. In any case ought not to receive Deputation because Shrievalty still unexpired and during office bound to abstain from electioneering and anything that looks like it. Can however answer question about Education Act: approves of the act in general and thinks it is doing people good in the country. Writer thinks a man who cannot pay for his children's education should nevertheless have a voice in selection of school to which to be sent. Thinks principle of 25th clause just and deserving fair trial. 12 July 1872
