Includes three letters written to John William Whittaker of St. John's, two concerning the death of Jesus student Charles William Atkinson who died on 17 March 1815.

The second, dated 25 March 1815, is from Atkinson's father William Atkinson (also Jesus, matriculated 1775), writing to Whittaker concerning his son's death and recounts those who attended the funeral including Dent, Edward Peacopp (Queens) and Caldwell. Also describes his sons burial place as being in the Chapel on the right as you enter and adjoining the wall of the cloisters.
