Talfourd, Thomas Noon, Sir (1795-1854), 3 ALsS, 1837, 1842

[Talfourd's reply to Green's request for assistance in securing a position.] "It would, I assure you, give me great pleasure to assist your views; and I regret that, just at present, it is impossible for me to do so in the way you suggest. The hundred posts in the Excise are not filled up by the Commisioners, but entirely by the Treasury, who make them the means of political patronage; — and, of course, can only give to each of their supporters a limited share in its disposition. I have very lately had occasion to apply for and obtain one of them...for a young man on whose benefit some of my friends at Reading solicited by aid, and I have two other such applications...which I have been obliged to postpone, because I cannot so soon ask for a return of the favour." Talfourd is quite busy, and his work "will no permit me to venture on any revision of your MSS; but I shall feel much honored by your dedication; and am happy to subscribe for Six Copies of the work, and to assure you of my earnest wishes for its success and for your welfare."
