1. TC is writing on Sat. Twisleton wrote to TC, 27 March, that he and Charles Bowyer Adderley, Conservative M.P., m. to Twisleton's cousin, Julia, b. Leigh, meant to call, adding
that Adderley was “in Politics a Conservative, when a final Party vote is to be given, but he has taken up warmly the cause
of Colonial Reform, and he has received a Testimonial (in the shape of a Chair) from the Inhabitants of the Cape, for his
opposition to the scheme of sending Convicts thither. He spends his money liberally on Philanthropic or religious objects—and
is extremely anxious always to do what he deems right, having a strong sense of the responsibilities of Property.” TC notes
on the letter, sent as an autograph to Varnhagen: “Hon. Edward Twistleton, young brother of Lord Say and Sele;—the Lord Say
and Sele of Oliver Cromwell's time used to be named ‘Old Subtlety’ (his name is still in Saybrook [New York] N. America); T. descends from him by the female line. Latterly chief Poor-law Commissioner in Ireland; where,
in the eyes of the discerning, he much distinguished himself as a man of fidelity and ability. One of the most human official
men I have ever known. Has considerable literature too; translated Goethe's Novelle long ago, which did not sell. Is now (Octr 1851) travelling, the second time, in the United States.” He was still interested in Irish affairs.
