Letter, William Gladstone to W H O'Sullivan MP, 16 August 1881. Letter headed in blue, 10 Downing Street, Whitehall. Thanks O'Sullivan for his note and enclosure, which captures excited and alarmed feelings. Hopes that these are allayed by events since and that the House of Lords will not further prolong conflict. Thanks him for manly and independent conduct during passage of the bill. One sheet folded to four pages, written on two. Watermark: Fleur-de-lis, W.L. below.
