Written on Manning's birthday, this letter is mostly a gesture of thanks to Darby for a gift. Manning neglects to say what it is, though judging by the language used we can assume it is a book or something to read. He is extremely grateful for the gift, saying it was a surprise despite each year Christmas holding less surprises for him. A heartwarming letter, Manning stresses how much he treasures his friendship and work with Darby.

Manning also mentions that he has recently moved house, to Northallerton, which he finds to be a pleasant little town.

In Manning's own words, this piece is 'not a letter: only a report'. Indeed, most of the letter is simply Clapham's reply to Manning's question in the previous letter.

Manning's own contributions are brief: a hope that Darby discusses his philosophy question with Claphan someday and a mention that he is staying in Northallerton for a week, reading 'Dante and The Testament of Beauty and Walter Scott'.

In this letter, Manning expresses his gratitude to Darby for his Christmas gift, which was a book of Thomas' poems, all of which are new to him. Manning hopes to repay him by giving him something in return too, which he had neglected to do so far, thanks to being busy with colds, audits and end of term business.

Darby's mother had been doing poorly as of late, according to this letter but Manning expresses his relief that she's doing better now.

While this item has no year date, the fact that the paper itself came from the Bursar means it cannot have been written any later than 1933.

This is a simple request from Manning to Darby, asking him if he'll act as a host for the Geography Club that night and show people where to go. Manning cannot do himself due to a cold and he trusts Darby, as he thinks no person knows the area better than he does.

This is a postcard with a photograph of Fowey Harbour, in Cornwall, with an arrow drawn upon it, presumably by Manning to let Darby know whereabouts he was staying for his holiday.

Manning says he expects to be back in College by next week, although he'll be in and out for the rest of the Summer. He reminds Darby that he hasn't forgetting the 'vast sums' that he still owes him. Finally, he briefly mentions that he has a good fishing story to tell Darby so fishing may be one of his hobbies.

Manning begins this letter with a thought that the pair of them should refer to each other by their first names, setting the pattern for the rest of the letters in this collection.

This is a simple letter, thanking Darby for the Christmas present, which was a book. Manning has never read this book, though claims he knows something of the author that he must tell Darby later.

Manning's father also seems to be in poor health, though is physically better than expected. Manning himself has done little, save for Christmas letters and some medieval history in preparation for lectures the coming term, none of which he has begun to write yet.

In this Christmas related letter, Manning thanks Darby for his gift, which seems to have been various things as he mentions he has only got at the pictures so far.

Manning apologies that he's neglected everyone this Christmas but as soon as he came home on the 21st, he came down with a case of the flu. It is only on the day of the letter that he has been out for half an hour for the first time.

Manning hopes Darby has had a good Christmas and says he is still deciding over a gift for him. The next day he states he'll be busy with writing a notice for the Cambridge Review. He offers congratulations to Darby and says he'll submit his notice to him.

As a P.S., Manning notes that in his middle age, it's good to be remembered by young friends.

Manning begins this item by thanking Darby for his Christmas present, which was a book, one that Manning had wanted and was unaware was it was in a new edition.

He wishes Darby a happy holiday and tells him that his own has been quite busy, between writing letters and visting his Sister, before getting a cold that has left him bed ridden for three days, occuping himself by reading a large variety of books. He finishes the letter by saying Jessie and Elsie send their good wishes for the New Year.

This is a brief item, Manning thanking Darby for the esteemed compliment of putting his name in a serious piece of scholarship. Alongside this, he stresses how important their friendship is and thanks Darby for the Christmas present, which are books. He finishes by congratulating Darby on a piece of written work, referencing the title and pictures. The text he shall discuss later.

An undated letter, this entry begins with Manning asking Darby to send his opinion on a matter to the librarian. The matter seems to concern a purchase with an unamed individual that Manning seems to be in favor for. He also asks Darby to send the prospectus to the Librarian too.

He finishes the letter by excusing himself for it being so short, as he is flourishing in idleness.

Another letter with no specific date, the intent is a simple message to let Darby know that Manning won't be around for tea that day. This is due to both work obligations as well as falling ill with a chill.

History of the Master's Garden

Part of this was the parish graveyard from nunnery times until the 1560s. The Master had a garden of some sort from the early years of the College, but was then able to expand it to take in the whole area south of the Master’s Lodge and Chapel (Garlick Fair also having moved). A brick wall was built round it in 1681, completing the “Chimney” as a double-walled path. Loggan's map (1688) shows it as an elaborate formal garden with topiary trees and rectangular beds - a substantial parterre with a central piece of topiary, east of it a lawn with another topiary tree in the middle, and a large tree in a small square bed close to the Lodge front door. There were also fruit trees, (further east, to the south of the Chapel). Later stables and a coach-house were built on this eastern side; grazing for the horses lay to the east and north, in the area of what is now Chapel Court - known from an early date as the Master’s paddock (had a wooden fence).

The garden also contains a 17 century mulberry tree and an oriental plane. The latter grew from one of 11 seedlings grown from seeds brought back by Edward Daniel Clarke from Thermopylae. In 1998 three of these trees still survived, the other two being in the Fellows' garden and at the west end of the close.
