Dear Sir,

I should have been glad had it been in my power to put you in the way of obtaining for publi-cation the autograph letter of Lord Byron which you say that your father, the late W Clark Rector of Guiseley, presented to my Aunt, Mrs Busfeild of Upwood. She has been dead now thirty three years; but in her life-time I never heard her mention the being in possession of such a letter, nor have I the remotest idea of what has become of it. I have caused a diligent search to be made, but all in vain.

With much regret for your disappointment,

Believe me
Yours faithfully
W Busfeild.

[Docketed, by Clark:] March 18. 1872 | Mr Busfeild—on Ld Byron’s letter

R./1.75/No. 1 · Part · Feb. 1838
Part of Manuscripts in Wren Class R

'Published by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Undergraduates'. Table of attendance by each Fellow at the morning and evening services each day, marked by 'o' or 'x'. with 'Sum Total' recorded at the end.

Prompted by an agreement by the Master and Seniors '"that all Undergraduates, Scholars, and Foundation Sizars, do attend Chapel eight times at least! in every week, - that is, twice on Sunday, and once on every other day, on pain," &c.- Vide Notice*.

'Does, then, this new Regulation of the "Master and Seniors" proceed from any religious motive? Do they practice what they force on the Undergraduates? They are very regular in their attendance in Hall, but why are their places vacant in Chapel? LET FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!'

Addressed by hand to 'Rev. J [?] Thompson, Trinity College'.
