Asthall and Fulbrook, Oxfordshire: Letter concerning tithes
Item
1 February 1758
3 folios
William Lenthal, to Rev Mr Cooke, bursar, concerning the just claim of the College to the tythe of Lowborough Coppice in the tithing of Astally, part of the Duke of Marlbro's trust estate purchased of the late Lord Hide. "My father desires me to make you his compliments but at his time of life can upon no consideration think of undertaking the management of a law-suit," particularly at such a distance from London. Would not the College register do it much better? Encloses his letter 7 January 1758 to Mr Butcher, of Great Russell Street, the Duke's agent, on the matter, to which no answer has been received.
