8.7.1808 write to Cholmondeley

George James Cholmondeley 1749-1827 known as the Earl of Cholmondeley between 1770 and 1815 doesn't seem to have been of the Whig persuasion so not a natural choice for Godwin to write to. Thomas Cholmondeley 1767-1855, MP for Cheshire 1796-1812 wasn't a Whig either, though in 1810 he married the daughter of a Whig, William Watkins Wynn.
