Scope and content

Letter from Marquis Cornwallis to Rev. Thomas Wythe. Written from Culford dated 2nd July 1785. Relates to Wythe's considering applying for a position in another parish, but that Cornwallis had mentioned this to the Chancellor (presumably of the University) but with no definite response. He also asked his brother, the Bishop of Lichfield, who said that the living Wythe was applying for was not worth much and that he should wait for something better to come up. Signed Cornwallis. Red wax seal on reverse.
