Having been induced, by the advice of my friends here, to give in a declaration that it was not my intention to defend my seat in the House of Commons, against the petition of Sir Adolphus J. Dalrymple, I wish ... to inform you of the reasons which have led me to this determination.
Steuart, Robert.
