I regret that the friends of Mr. Pakington have thought it to
their interest to resort to open misrepresentation, and in the
vain hope of injuring me in your good opinion are industriously
circulating a report that I am "in favor of opening the Crystal
Palace and Theatres on Sunday."
This is wholly untrue. I never made or approved of such a
statement.
I am not in favor of opening the Crystal Palace, or Theatres,
or any such places of Amusement on Sunday.
I am Gentlemen,
Your faithful Servant,
FREDERICK H. W. G. CALTHORPE.
_Central Committee Room, February 11th, 1859._
