Sir Thomas writes concerning his views on Irish Home Rule. He writes that he will be voting for the second reading of the Bill. He also writes that he has declined the peerage offered to him by Mr Gladstone as he did not wish to give the impression as to the "motive by which my conduct had been guided'. He finally writes that he will be leaving Hastings and hopes to gain a seat elsewhere. Sent from: 4 Great George Street, London.
