Title	Copy letter William Longsdon at Longstone to Joseph Paxton esq explaining matter and writer will leave at liberty to mention to Duke or not as he judges right. Shall be glad if he can do it with propriety. Nephew Henry John Longsdon, only child of his oldest brother who formerly lived at Longstone has entered Church and now engaged as curate to Revd Mr Blyth of Deepdale Rectory near Lynn in Norfolk and is also tutor to Mr B's sons. Henry took rank at College as a "Senior Optime" and now judging by Mr Blyth's treatment stands well in that gentleman's esteem. Theological views, writer believes, incline to the Evangelical Party of Church - thinks he has sense enough to maintain temperate and proper course in his religious teaching. His age is 25 and he is engaged to be married to a daughter of Mr Lace of Ingthorpe Grange who is nephew to late Revd Mr Carr of Bolton Abbey. Henry informs writer that the living of Bolton Abbey is vacant or likely to be so and like many others no doubt would like to be appointed to it. He has written to writer to solicit for him which he does with pleasure having confidence in his fitness, character and talents. Writer is not sufficiently known to the Duke to write personally and have not any established ground on which to ask for his favour - further than what springs from neighbourhood and long habitual respect due to his worth and rank. 26 March 1851
