Scope and content
Herstmonceux - When WW and Cordelia Whewell came to visit, they had not expected them to have been so close to renting the house at Carter's corner: 'This encourages me to hope that you may be tempted by another house, and an incomparably better one, in the parish, which is gasping with all its empty rooms for a tenant'. If the owner can find a good tenant, that is, as he explained to me, one who is not a sportsman, he will let it at a very low rent, £100 a year for the house & garden in their present state'. Although it is larger than what WW and Cordelia may have wished for - 'this wd just enable the Worsleys to come & keep house here with you, Thus the trio, who were so many years constantly together at Cambridge, wd be reunited here'.
