Barford, Warwick, September 9th, 1838.
My dear Sir,

I enclose you two letters I have received from Colonel Burgoyne (who belongs to the Corps of Royal Engineers, and who for many years has been Head Commissioner for the expenditure of the grant for public works in Ireland), by which you will see that he and Mr. Drummond (who is Under Secretary for Ireland) wish me to review their
HEAD AND LORD DURHAM.371
report on railroads . . . If I were to attempt it, I should throw aside, for the sake of science, all my own angry feelings towards the Government, and endeavour to give an impartial judgment on an important subject.

God bless you, my dear Sir. I hope you often walk about Pope’s Villa, cracking my pig-whip; and that you have not altogether forgotten,

My dear Sir, yours very faithfully,
F. B. Head.
