GLADSTONE
(William Ewart, 1809-1898, Prime Minister)
Long Autograph letter signed to the Secretary of the Edinburgh, Perth & Dundee Railway Co.,
saying that “upon receiving a few days ago the circular and proxy relating to the arrangement contemplated between the EPD and the North British Companies, I, without much consideration but simply placing as usual my confidence in the Directors sent my proxy in their favour. I have since learned that there is a difference of opinion respecting the bearing of the plans on the ordinary shareholders and it seems that the prices of shares have fallen since it became public. Now though I am an ordinary shareholder my largest interest is in Preference Shares; and I am very reluctant to be mixed up in any matter of serious controversy on which I am imperfectly informed, and especially when it touches the respect interests of different classes. Under the circumstances and it being impossible for me to put myself in a position to obtain full information, I have to beg that my proxy may be considered as suspended and not put in use at the meeting ... I shall not in any case interfere against the Directors...”, 4 sides 8vo., Hawarden, 23rd September
