1836 A letter from the Archbishop
A letter from the Archbishop of York, Edward Vernon-Venables, to William Pound, Schoolmaster of Old Malton School. There is perhaps a suggestion in the writing that he has not taken too much interest in a small school in North Yorkshire, from his grand property down in Oxfordshire.
Rev Sir
In answer to your letter of the 17th, I have time only to assure you of my best wishes for the prosperity of your School at Malton, & that the regulations you have adopted for the management of it, and both the views(?) of reading it sufficient for its ???, appear to be just and proper – should you at any Time wish for advice under unforeseen circumstances, you cannot apply for the purpose to any other, a kinder or a more judicious friend than Archdeacon Todd.
I am Rev Sir
Yrs faithfully
Ebor
Nuneham Park This was the house in Oxfordshire that the Archbishop inherited from his childless first cousin, the 3rd Earl Harcourt, in 1831
