Letter from George Burnham at Wellingborough [Northamptonshire] to John Thomas Green at Woburn:

6 Aug 1862

From: 1862 To: 1862

"There seems some difficulty here as to the form of admission and therefore I send a Draft thereof for your perusal and settlement and I shall be happy to put it in such form as you think best. If this testator was Tenant in Tail [in margin "he was not"] and you would wish this not to appear by the admission, it strikes me that the better way would be not to recite the admission of Jeffery Fisher and Ann his wife at all but merely recite that he died seized so that at a future day he might be presumed to have been tenant in fee simple. Your Father in his letter of May 27 1858 [HN10/277/Brooks27] mentioned a Settlement but that he did not know whether or not the Irchester Estate was included therein. When you have worked out the matter (which you will probably do without delay) I shall be glad to hear from you so that there may be no difficulty at the Court. The Irchester Court will be held on Saturday the 30th instant at 3 o'clock in the afternoon at the Carpenters Arms a train leaves Bedford for Wellingborough at 12.35, arrives at Wellingborough at 1 o'clock. You can take a fly from Wellingborough to Irchester 3 miles leave Irchester so as to meet the Irchester Station (only half a mile) at 6.5 and arrive at Bedford at 6.40" Annotated with J.T.Green's notes on travel times from Woburn Sands to Wellingborough and back
