SCC writes to his father that he is still in Wales and met Richard Green-Price to canvass for the Radnor seat. He writes that Price has not yet resigned his seat and there does not seem to be a strong opposition even though there were concerns about an outsider standing in the constituency. He reports that George Henry Phillips is the oppositions's man and Price is a fool to think that Philips does not stand a chance. However, he writes that it is difficult to find out the true situation as he does not know anyone and there has not been a contest for some years. He informs his father he needs to know more about the opportunity for a seat in Bristol before confirming anything about it. Sent from: Norton Manor, Presteign, date stamped 26 Jan.
