| Title | 21 April. Henry Croft of 7 Kings Parade, Bristol, to Fanny Lace following his visit to Ireland with news of his health, family and friends. Attended a large meeting of Midland proprietors at Derby on Thursday but not one vote raised in favour of Mr Hudson - Railway King has greatly fallen in public opinion and will never regain his reputation. Wisely resigned office of Chairman having perhaps anticipated the disgrace of being turned out. Enquires after letters for him at Ingthorpe [Ingmanthorpe]. |
