Letter dated 23rd of March 1832, from Sarah Cuthbert in Hundon Parsonage to Revd Dr William French. She notes that, according to appointment by her late husband Thomas Cuthbert, his son Robert will wait on French the next day for the purpose of an arrangement of the accounts between Thomas Cuthbert and French, and in order to ascertain the amount due, as neither Sarah nor Robert are certain of the amount. Sarah was fearful from the copes(?) Thomas had been obliged to experience by the failures of the 'Three Wades' and others, added to which the depression(?) of the times, and a complete failure of the previous year's crop, that there is more due to the recipient than they might be aware. Sarah says she is 'induced to cherish a hope' that the recipient will grant her as much indulgence as they an by giving time to discharge the amount. Sarah was left with a family of ten children after her husband's death, who all look to her for a home and most of them for support. Sarah asks that she be allowed to continue occupation of the Parsonage Farm. It was her 'most earnest wish' either to take the Farm with her own hands or that Robert be accepted as a joint tenant with her. It is impossible for her to say when and where she could get another situation whereby to obtain for herself and family that support and maintenance. Six of the children still live at home with Sarah. Sarah therefore hopes that she could arrange an appointment for the future holding of the Farm. Mr Ray, formerly the banker at Clare, has directed Sarah to use his name as a character reference. Mr James Deeks, who accompanies Robert, is a large landholder at Hundon, living near the Parsonage farm and would give French every satisfactory account of Thomas Cuthbert, Sarah and his family, as both a neighbour and a close family friend. Sarah hopes that she can resolve the issue of the occupation of the Farm. Signed by Sarah Cuthbert.

Note on the back of Sarah Cuthbert's letter dated 24 March 1832. Noting Mr R. Cuthbert called with Mr Deeks visited and were informed that Jesus College expected £500.

Letter from Thomas Cuthbert to Rev Dr French, dated December 11th 1830. Concerning the delay in money due to the unrest of the labourers and the poor in the Parish of Hundon. Notes that a parish meeting was called on October 7th and attended by Sir Robert Harland. A decision was made to employ men and boys to prevent them from doing any harm or burning up property. Notes that the harvest was very poor, with corn, barley and wheat not yielding good returns. Sir Robert Harland notes that the bad crops was due to the experience of the labourers and the numbers.
