Asking Place 'if he approves of the principle of the work, to use his influence to favor [sic] its circulation.'

Autograph, with signature.

Including an autograph draft of Place's reply, 28 Oct 1832. '... I hope you will return Mr. Wood to Parliament, if he can be returned at all, he may be returnd [sic] free of expense, by proper arrangements which the electors are bound to make.
