Letter from G.L. Baker, Lincoln’s Inn Fields to Richard Orlebar.
‘It is so long since I had the pleasure of seeing you, that I dare say you will have forgotten me, though it is possible you may recollect my name connected with the Alstons, in whose company we occasionally met some years ago.
I now address you as their professional advisor, and as one who is sincerely desirous of serving them as a friend. Living in the immediate neighbourhood you can be no stranger to their great pecuniary embarrassment that Mr Alston has left England encumbered with a very heavy debt, that Mrs Alston is living with her children at Bedford subject to great privation, and that their present means for subsistence is derived, until other arrangements can be made from the friends of the family. Under these Circumstances it is absolutely necessary that every thing should be let which can be made the subject of income, and we are taking all practicable means for that purpose. We now have an excellent opportunity of letting the Manor of Odell, and are offered a very adequate rent for it, but the objection on the part of the gentleman in treaty with us arises from the circumstance of Yelnow Wood, being so situated at the back of the Great Wood as to prevent the possibility of his getting up or preserving any head of Game, unless he could obtain the privilege of shooting there also. If you would therefore be so good as to grant the shooting in Yelnow, without which no one will find take the Manor of us, I shall be most happy to come to any arrangement you may desire for giving you a true proportion of the rent. I do not mean to ask you to allow us the profit to be obtained by letting a part of your property (or rather the Royalty over it) but my request is that you will concur in letting it with me, receiving your fair portion of the Rent. Knowing from my own experience how tenacious Gentlemen are on the subject of shooting, I should not have ventured to have made this request, or to urge your compliance with it, which I beg to do most earnestly, but for the reasons which I have stated in the first part of my letter nor should I have done it even under these circumstances did I not know that you are one of the oldest (if not the oldest) friend of the Odell family, and one whom I am sure will sympathize in their present distress. 8 February 1832.
