Lord Spencer writes concerning the Irish Question and the "hopelessness of the alternative to a "big measure". He writes concerning two points 1) the security of the landowners and 2) that he should resolutely refuse to "move in the direction of a big measure unles the Parnellite party accept the proposal". Sent from: Althorp, Northampton.
