Autograph Letter Signed ('Sligo') to Brabazon.

12mo, 4 pp. Good, on lightly aged paper. Docketed in a contemporary hand (Brabazon's), beside Sligo's signature, 'second letter'. Sligo writes that the 'affair' to which Brabazon's letter alludes 'was purely of an official & Parliamentary nature', and that he 'must beg leave to decline receiving any communications respecting it', excepting in his 'place in the H of Lords'. 'Lord in his speech stated that the ferment which existed in Mayo originated solely in the Election, which I could not deny.' Sligo disagrees with 's opinion 'that it was to be attributed entirely to my conduct on that occasion'. In replying 'it became necessary for me to state every fact, within my memory, which could disprove that assertion. That I did so with <?> courtesy to you, I cannot offer you better testimony than that of the Noble Lord, who made the Motion. The affair is still in Parliamentary train'. Sligo will, once 'the papers which were moved for shall have been presented', 'set [...] right at once' 'any error in point of fact which may have, thro my inadvertence, crept into my statement'.
