Âmbito e conteúdo

This is William's third academic year at Cambridge and Aunt Rebecca's only extant letter to Cambridge. Discussion of recent marriage of cousin John Jarratt, and death of bridegroom's sister Anne, aged 29, (who had been Aunt Rebecca's charge for some years). There is a long quotation from a letter written by Anne's father about the circumstances of her death – at Budleigh Salterton. Also recent death of Dr. Godfrey, President of Queen's, who had been Rev. Samuel Hey's tutor at Queen's. Much social and parish news. P.S. from father, Rev. S. Hey: will William thank Mr. Kirby who had written about Dr. Godfrey's death: Mr. King's election as new President is noted: and thanks William for his letter (not preserved). The Bible Society meeting (mentioned by Aunt Rebecca) was successful in spite of the previous dismal state of affairs. No new cholera cases since he last wrote.
