The Tump, Caerleon.
E. Evans to Dr Roberts, Eton College: the descent of an estate of Francis Jenkins to Mr Blewit. William Walters, Roberts's correspondent, has been in league with a scandalous crew to whom he lent £10 to make a claim at Monmouth Assizes in the right of Clifford. The witnesses were all against the claim and the cause was dropped. Walters is angry about the £10 he lent. Evans went to the Hill to see Walters and warn him not to allow stones to be taken except for College use. Walters wanted a premium for this, and complained about the lack of support from Eton, and that the Hill Farm was charged to the church rate which was not previously so. Evans told him that as an under-tenant his case was not with Eton but with Mr Van's representatives. A great many stones are taken away and Mrs Van's steward does nothing because they do not intend to renew.
