TitleCorrespondence between William Longsdon and Mr Cornish, vicar of Bakewell, opening with memorial concerning his reported intention to fill vacancy with a stipendiary curate, acknowledging his right to do this, but asking for a resident pastor to reside in parsonage newly erected mainly by public subscription, and to care for church now being repaired wholly by public subscription; with Cornish's reply that he intends to keep living in his own hands, appointing a resident curate at £100 a year, and keeping £80 a year to provide a curate to assist at Bakewell; William Longsdon's statement that vicar's intention "not reconcilable with proper or conscientious discharge of duty by any individual holding power of appointment to Longstone"; Vicar's announcement of intention to appoint an old friend of same name but no relation. Correspondence in draft, original, and copy.
