Dear Feltoe,
I am sorry for the delay over the book but the binders seem to have taken a tremendous time to get their work done.
The Riley in question is the well known translator of Plautus & the authors. He did a good deal of work in several Colleges up here for a last 'blue book' many years ago. 'Plundeing' is, I take it one of the numerous slips in spelling which occur in the matter. However I have been reassured by several people since the volume has appeared.
With very kind regard to les Feltoe.
Yours, J.R. Wardale
Letter to the Master (Edward Atkinson) from James Rendel Harris about a gift of books to the library.
Found in a bound volume of the chapter from the Clare History regarding the life of Nicholas Ferrar.
Letter refers to a proposed purchase of Ferrar's ''things'' (presumably furnishings or other personal possessions at College) by ''Mr Boughton'' (probably Edward Boughton, admitted 1615).
Letter from Rev. Francis Lodington offering a donation of his accumulated College dividends to augment Exeter, Freeman and Diggons Fellowships.
