Scope and Content
'Dear Sir George
You will shortly[?] receive from Mr Hinds for your execution two conveyances of portions of my late brother Edmund's Campton property which he devised to Trustees to sell directing that the produce of the sale should be considered personal estate & giving his personal estate to his wife.
We - or rather I acting for the other trustees & executors sold a portion which was wanted to pay debts &c The residue Mrs Williamson preferred to keep as land.
She has now sold the two cottages near the mill to devereux for 125 l & as the legal estate remaining in us as trustees it is necessary that we should convey them. The money will be paid to her. Will you then be so good as to sign the conveyance to devereux in the X two places above my name with an attesting witness.
Mrs Williamson has also given for the enlargement of Campton National School a small piece of her close in which it stands & the mistress' house. And I wish to convey to proper trustees the school itself which is vested in me Mr Hinds & you must also join in the conveyance to the School Trustees you son the [obliterated] if Campton desires that you should be a manager as Patron which is a very proper thing I do not know whether he has obtained your consent but hope you will not object. The conveyance must be to the Minister & Churchwardens who by School Buildings Act are made a corporation for holding school premises but other persons may act as managers.
Please to forward both deeds when executed to W G Carton Mitchell solicitor, Bedford.
Yours truly
W Williamson'
