Scope and content
Copy of letter from Harris Sumpter and Hyde to the Trustees of Storey's Charity. Received the draft report approved by the attorney general and our own agents which although not obtained in time to be approved by the court will be approved in due course. Suggests buildings must be demolished immediately as they are insecure, the last tenant having vacated them a while ago, and they don't want the premises to become a resort for thieves and vagrants. Suggests boarding them off across each entrance to prevent this. Since then, part of the buildings have collapsed. Conferred with Mr. Walter and advise the Trustees to follow advice in his report. Would be glad of their instructions with regard the auctioneer. Copies were also sent to the Provost, at Wimpole, and to the Master of Catharine Hall, at the Close, Norwich.
