But My Casey had not seen Mr Stutt for some time and having occassion to write to Mr Joselyn, Mr Casey asked if he was aware if any property that would ultimately come to Mr Cuthbert, but he was answered he was not.

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.

The driving saga continues. Letters to and from the Master. The Master won't let Pars have the garage keys unless he has a letter from his doctor. Pars is trying to circumvent the driving issue. The Master indicates that he would make sure Pars had transportation to and from Acton and that he would help Pars to sell his car. He points out that it is illegal for Pars to drive without a licence. Pars in another letter wants to bring Bill Thorpe to the College in his wheelchair and points out that the College has no wheelchair access. Letter from Sir William Haley who is an Honorary Fellow. Letters to Dr. Reiss. Pars wants his doctor to send a certificate for the motor insurance people so he can drive. He's given him the Master's letter to look at.

Vet bills are mounting. They are thinking of having him put to sleep which they do in December. Letters from John Killen and John Adkins. Pars writes to Killen about his will. He tells Killen how terribly depressed he is, "I just sit by the waters of Babylon and weep".

He will be Keeper of the records at the College. In another letter, Jennings writes to say that he's just been made or elected rather, a judge of the International Court of Justice at the Hague. Jennings and Killen are co-executors of Pars's will. See also several letters from to and from John Killen. In one Pars says he'd like to invite two guests to the Rustat Feast-David Lloyd George and Norman Costar who are good friends, only Pars worries that Lloyd George will turn up drunk, "He is a charming creature-but seldom sober". Pars's stockbroker has bought share in Intervision Video. Eileen is now running his house in Acton and looking after his cat. Killen came down to Acton to see a play with Pars. Pars wonders why Derek Taunt was not re-elected as President. Did it have something to do with his wife requesting money for the wine provided at evening talks?? Killen is delighted to act as executor of Pars's will. Both disapprove of the condom dispensers in the men's bathroom but Killen points out that students are far less aggressive and problematic than they were ten years ago. Pars is most upset that he will no longer be able to have his breakfasts as the kitchens are now closed on Sundays. He's nostalgic for the days when servants were good and plentiful.

He asks permission to bring Norman Costar and David Lloyd George (can't come) to the Rustat Feast. Both live in Brighton. Pars nominated Taunt for the Presidency and now tells the Master. According to Pars, Taunt is not a scholar of real distinction (jealousy?) and his wife should not be asking for wine money (the real reason Pars is miffed). He told Killen something very different. Pars also claims that he is very fond of Michael Waring "who's able, albeit a trifle unstable". He mentions Waring is trying to get a proper legal divorce. The Master has taken Pars's advice in terms of when the President's term should start (beg. of the academic year). There is also mention of a dinner party to celebrate Pars's 60th anniversary of his Fellowship. Neither person suggested by Pars was given an Honorary Fellowship: Norman Costar or Leslie Brown.

Many letters to and from Pars's housekeeper Eileen. She handles all of his domestic affairs, but Pars must not send her too much money as she can barely afford to pay the gardener. She lists her expenses. She is always running out of money (she has to pay all utility bills too). She usually needs £140 for housekeeping money and £120 for her wages. Even Teddy (the cat) costs £4 a week to feed. She also seems to think that there is some pilfering going on in the house (Pars thinks she is simply being forgetful). She also mentions the Royal Wedding. Letter from cousin Joan. Royalty statements. Caricature of Sir Alan Cottrell from the Times (July 17). He is 62. Letter from Norman Costar.

Several letters from Marshalls including to and from Arthur Marshall. They know each other quite well. There is correspondence with Mr. Parsely and complaints made against him. Michael Marshall had a christening party in Pars's rooms in 1932!
