From: Charles Stockdale Benning, Dunstable; To: Thomas Sworder, Hertford "Yourself & Burr I don't find your admission to the Copyholds in the Manor of the Borough of Stondon & the Rectory of Stondon nor any copyhold documents of the Manor of Chishall except the covenant in the deed of 13th May 1853 by Thomas of Luton to get admitted for you. Would it not be best for you to get admitted? It would simplify the Coll Mortge. I have got the conveyance & mortgage drawn & am drawing the Coll mortgage". From: Thomas Sworder, Hertford; 4 Jan 1860; To: Charles Stockdale Benning, Dunstable "Myself & Burr All my property at Stondon is freehold Manor of Chishall Thomas Sworder of Luton is as Heir at Law in a situation to surrender & his Covt to do so at my request will be suppl. To tell you the truth I have been called upon to be admitted in the Manor of Chishall & must shortly be so or rather my nephew for me, but the Steward demands too high a fine & I don't want to go & pay a large sum unless it is absolutely necessary. As I said before my Nephew's Cov is supp to bind me if made at my request. Manor of Stockg Pelham Hall I shall enfranchise this directly. I have approved the Drt Deed of Enfranchisement".
