Scope and content
St. Cloud, nr Worcester. - Is waiting to hear from the present Rector of Lea and Gate Burton as to what can be traced there [about the previous Rector John Smith and his son Robert]; fears it will only be a repetition of that supplied by Dr [Joseph?] Edleston.
Will be glad to find his suggestion 'as to Dr Thomas Smith of 1710-12' confirmed, but has not found which college 'Clement Smith (alias Nevill) was a member'.

Note
Card dated 5 Apr 1884, but the rest of Smith Carington's letters to Aldis Wright (except one from 1897) are dated 1888, the earliest of which seems introductory: this card is probably mis-dated.
