St. Cloud, nr Worcester. - Has been advised by his friend Dr Howard [Joseph Jackson Howard], Maltravers Herald, to ask Wright for further information regarding Dr Robert Smith. Letters convey information discovered by Smith Carington on Robert Smith and his father John.
Also discussed are Thomas Smith of Holt; 'Clement Smith, alias Nevill, a younger brother of this Thomas' [Senior Bursar of Trinity?]; Dr Thomas Smith, Vice-Master of Trinity; 'Barnabas Smith, Rector of Witham, who married Sir Isaac Newton's Mother'; Elzimar Smith, and Canon Sebastian Smith.
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'.
Ashby Folville Manor. - Her father Mr Carington Smith will return from the Pyrenees next week and will then reply to [Wright's?] letter.
