Letter from George Shuckburgh-Evelyn to Sir Joseph Banks Informs Banks that William Windham MP has told him that he proposes to name his own Committee (on Mudge's Petition to the House of Commons); namely, Pitt, Fox, Gregor, Bragge, Rider, William Windham and Shuckburgh Evelyn. Thomas Mudge petitioned Parliament after his Father's instrument to determine Longitude was awarded £500. Mudge believed it should have claimed the higher sums offered by the Board of Longitude. With draft reply from Banks giving his opinion on this. 24 April 1792
