Letter from Henrietta Ann Matthews to her brother, Thomas J Hooper. “I attended to your last and Baker sent flour last Monday, which I hope will be the last I shall order, I expect you will hear all particulars from Mr Winter that Mr Cordy thinks of taking the whole of this place as soon as convenient if you agree about terms and as our farm looks better in the spring than at any other time of year; do you not think it advisable to try to sell it soon?

13 May 1868

From: 1868 To: 1868

Mr Graham sold the Cardiff gig for £7.5 but the horse & harness were bought in, for the horse would only fetch £7.15 and the harness was below what Mr W said it ought to sell at. I enclose two letters if you will kindly tell us what to say (or answer them yourself) – If these premises are let what must we do with the furniture and all the lumber in the top room? I sent for the list of presenting governors to Christ Church Hospital [School] & I see Mr Wrights name and a Mr Whitbread (brewer) are they any of your friends…”
