Letter to Rev.William Airy from James Duberly refusing to subscribe to Keysoe National School as "I have just learnt the extent of my proprietorship in keysoe, which, I never knew before, of 9 acres and a small spinney of 2/11 acres - considering the deplorable condition and prospects in this extensive parish of poor land and no other resident proprietor but myself on this larger portion of it - I think it likely that whenever there shall be an ordinary Gentleman for the clergyman of [Great] Staughton, I may have call enough at home, that will prevent me subscribing to any such small outlying as I have at Keysoe" Includes envelope post marked St.Neots with Penny Black stamp
