L20/195

Correspondence: Letter to Earl de Grey from John Humphries. Has obtained information from Mr. Currer and Mr. Elsley about proposed line through Clifton. Mr. Hudson commands the whole Company. 'My ideas at present are that any Line between the parliamentary one and Bootham Bar, would be much more objectionable than the original Line, in as much as it would destroy the Rural retreat from the City to Clifton, and consquently be exceedingly objectionable to Mr. Currer and other most respectable Inhabitants living south of the parliamentary Line.' Reckons that Mr. Russell's opposition to line might be removed by a large compensation for his house. Will get plans and papers from Smeathall.
