Scope and content

Written from the rectory, Southery, Downham. Last Saturday Henslow wrote a letter to Dean Peacock to say that he was feloniously attacked with his 9 year old godson by two men in the company of two women returning to Ely from Lynn. Their names are alleged to be Philip Achis (alias Dennett) a gardener of the Dean and Chapter, Stephen Cowling, a bricklayer, Ann Brown, widow of a gardener and Sarah Onion, all of Ely. The man devil (alias Dennett) is an atrocious villain who first threw the other man on him and by whom he should have been murdered but for providential interference. The man Cowling has been before him with an impudent false version of the business and the while party appear to have been a bad set and their conduct unaccountable. Every relevant person should know about this and Achis and further information about him would be appreciated.
