At the beginning of the memorandum is the following note in Sir Robert
Walpole’s handwriting:—
This Paper was delivered to me, the 15th of Sept. 1739, at nine
o’clock at night at my house at Chelsea,[2] by Mr. Tho. Cart, a
non-jurying Clergyman, as a Copy of Heads, etc., drawn up by
Him, by order of the Pretender, as explanatory of some
conferences held by Him at Rome upon the subject of the security
of the Church of England and delivered to the Pretender by Him
in July last.
