2 items

Ovington Rectory, Thetford - In the letter of 8 April writes to thank him for his letter, has not been away for a year and does little work in the parish; details the illness of his wife [Agnes], and the circumstance of a beam under the fireplace catching fire; is thankful not to be blind, imbecile, or bedridden, should say he has 'fought the good fight'; only news from Cambridge is from Schneider, who is lame from a fall. In the letter of 5 May, he thanks Frazer for 'Garnered Sheaves'; hopes he has a new assistant; had another 'attack of blood pressure' which caused him to fall unconscious for an hour or two.

Accompanied by an envelope with a note on the sender and date in Frazer's hand.
