Enclosure Petition & Letters

From Mr F Burton to Revd Dr Jenner 30 June 1758

Revd Sir

Yesterday we had our Second Meeting upon ye Helmdon Enclosure when ye Proprietors delivered unto us their several Claims and Petitions. All your Tenants attended, except Mrs Jackson who sent a Letter to me specifying her Claim which I believe is very well calculated both for hers and the College Interest. There are here as in all other Enclosures, several Claims that Clash, & your Tenants are far from standing clear of their Neighbours, particularly Mr Harriot. He has been extremely well advised in the Specification of his claims, but I greatly question its success with ye Commissioners. However, I far as I can perceive, the Commissioners are all inclined to do Justice & to give no undue preference to any one which is all that Mr Harriot or ye College will devise.
Our next meeting is appointed for ye 13th of July at the Parsonage House in Helmdon. I am

Sir
Your most obedient
& faithful humble Servt
Fr. Burton
Aynho 30 June 1758
