Letter from Thomas Bland [to Alexander Hume-Campbell, 1st Baron Hume of Berwick]. Sent from Colchester. It is now determined that the writer, and only the writer, is to accept Mr Bingham’s Living in Stebbing in exchange for [Hemel] Hempstead.

19 Nov 1778

From: 1778 To: 1778

The writer intends to apply to Lord Hardwicke and the Bishop of London for leave to hold the vicarage of Stebbing with the Rectory of Mile End [Myland, Colchester]. This will save the expense of a dispensation. Would be grateful if his Lordship would inform Lord Hardwicke and Lady Grey of the intended request. Lord Marchmont will inform the Bishop of London. The income from Stebbing will allow the writer do to more for his daughter Charlotte. Requests that any kindness shown to the writer, his Lordship now transfer to Mr Smyth. ‘I shall be very happy in seeing him and Charlotte comfortably provided for…’
