Scope and content
Letter from W. Hilton to Dr. French thanking him for the favour but asserting that the annual rent of the land, the expense of labour, difficulties of approach to the land due to a bad road, stagnated water, danger of the sea, unhealthy situation, dread of extra wall rates etc. depreciate the value of the land. The Commissioners were necessitated last year to borrow £300. Asks for the college to set up a favourable fine for the renewal of the Lease. Sent from Danbury.
