DISRAELI.
While the MS. was still in Mr. Milman's hands, Mr. Disraeli followed
this up with another letter:
_Mr. Disraeli to John Murray_
35 DUKE STREET, ST. JAMES'S.
MY DEAR SIR, I am very sensible that you have conducted yourself, with
regard to my MS., in the most honourable, kind, and judicious manner;
and I very much regret the result of your exertions, which neither of us
deserve.
I can wait no longer. The delay is most injurious to me, and in every
respect very annoying. I am therefore under the painful necessity of
requesting you to require from your friend the return of my work without
a moment's delay, but I shall not deny myself the gratification of
thanking you for your kindness and subscribing myself, with regard,
Your faithful Servant,
BENJ. DISRAELI.
At length Mr. Milman's letter arrived, expressing his judgment on the
work, which was much more satisfactory than that of Mr. Lockhart.
_The Rev. H.H. Milman to John Murray_.
READING, _March_ 5, 1832.
MY DEAR SIR,
I have been utterly inefficient for the last week, in a state of almost
complete blindness; but am now, I trust, nearly restored.
