He finds 'upon reconsideration' that the conversation he referred to that afternoon took place two days later and regrets that he gave Barrow 'the unnecessary trouble of sending for papers in error; & possibly attributing an inattention to the Gentleman employed at the time as a Reporter'. If there is any 'Sketch of the Debate in question' in the 'Mirror of Parliament' Inglis 'expects to see it: - if none be given He encloses a sketch of what he believes himself to have said; with a memory of something said by Mr Grattan & Mr Spring Rice.' Dickens worked on Barrow's staff at the 'Mirror of Parliament' for four years in the 1830s. 12 August 1831; Manchester Buildings, Westminster. unknown
