Scope and content
(1) letter from Richard Reynolds Rowe [architect] to Dr Corrie [Master] advising him that Mr Barrett's request to build cottages at the back of the houses he leases from the College should be refused. His reasons are that these houses are much sought after and rarely unoccupied because they are in a respectable neighbourhood, have large gardens and are not overlooked. Building the cottages would reduce the size of the gardens, mean they were overlooked and subject the occupants to "the not very agreeable language of a low class of persons",
(2) letter from Dr Corrie to Mr Barrett informing him of the decision to refuse permission to build the cottages.
