Dear Mr. Evans
This is quite correct please pay it. I hope when Mr. Alfred Newdegate leaves after his Wife's confinement we shall be able to let the house in Clarenden Sq. I often think it is not sufficiently known.
It has been a sad grief to Colonel Newdegate his Brother's secession from our Church.
The whole was so hurried & all thence on Colonel Newdegate's Hands without any thought for the future of his 7 children & his Wife near her confinement And it was lucky they could go to Clarendon Square altho' not exactly what we really wish - & I hope as soon as they can they will settle out of the County.
I have 2 Boys of theirs here till they settle what to do with them- which I fear will be to take them from their School & put them in at a Roman Catholic one at present the little fellows are quite ignorant of the change
Yours sincerely
L G Newdegate |  |
