Title
T W Evans at Allestree Hall, Derby (private) to William Longsdon. Many thanks. Afraid section 25 will give great trouble writer could not vote for its repeal unless something could be substituted enabling poor men who cannot pay for the education of their children to have some voice in selecting schools to which they are sent. Compulsory education very strong measure though right and that wishes of parents should be complied with as far as possible. More inclined to consider parent than ratepayer. Writer has omitted subject altogether in other letter. Writer will be Sheriff until first week in February 1872 (sic), could not properly receive political deputation while Sheriff.
