Content Description

Cardwell quotes a passage from Thucydides which they had discussed, and provides a translation, in accordance with Gibson's request. Cardwell awaited Gibson's views on how his "admirable likeness" [perhaps of Sir Robert Peel] might best be reproduced for a private house like his.
