Note 85 — Chapter XIX
Reading edition
“March 7th.—I spoke to the Postmaster-General on the subject, telling him ‘it was exceedingly unjust of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to press me in this way, knowing as he does that I dare not attempt the amalgamation until he keeps his promise by giving me Maberly’s place.’ In this the Postmaster-General acquiesced.”—Sir R. Hill’s Journal.—Ed.
