On embossed notepaper for Boreatton Park, Shrewsbury. - Encloses papers relating to his brother-in-law Furse Vidal, one of the Conducts of Eton College Chapel; his contract has been breached regarding preferments; asks Houghton to refer to matter to the Archbishop of York as one of the Public School Commissioners; the Vicar of Staines will approach the Attorney-General; the Provost and Fellows recognise the hardship of the case but cannot override the new Statutes; address to Gladwyn, Wrexham.
