Dispatch, in things of this nature, if not a security, at least delay is a sure way to lose, as you have done, being easily chose at York, for not resolving in time, and Aldburgh, for not applying soon enough to Lord Pelham.
Lady Mary's letters now contain many references to political affairs, anyhow in so far as they directly concern Montagu. "I hope you are convinced I was not mistaken in my judgment of Lord Pelham; he is very silly but very good-natured. I don't see how it can be improper for you to get it represented to him that he is obliged in honour to get you chose at Aldburgh, and may more easily get Mr.
I am very sorry, for your sake, that you spent so much money in vain last year, and will not come in this, when you might make a more considerable figure than you could have done then. I wish Lord Pelham would compliment Mr. Jessop with his Newark interest, and let you come in at Aldburgh." On the death of the Queen, the Council, which had assembled at Kensington Palace, adjourned to St. James's.
Montagu found no other constituency, and consequently did not sit in the new Parliament that assembled on the following November 11. "I suppose you may now come in at Aldburgh, and I heartily wish you was in Parliament," Lady Mary wrote to him. I hear that Parliament sits but six months; you know best whether 'tis worth any expense or bustle to be in for so short a time."
I mention this, because I cannot think you can stand at York, or anywhere else, without a great expense. Lord Morpeth is just now of age, but I know not whether he'll think it worth while to return from travel upon that occasion. Lord Carlisle is in town, you may if you think fit make him a visit, and enquire concerning it. After all, I look upon Aldburgh to be the surest thing.
