Scope and Contents

Item 1: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 31 July 1790 2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/38). He has heard that the living of Rochdale has been presented to one of his friends; can Boucher throw any light on this? He is going to stay with Dr. Gunning near Bath; should Boucher wish to go to Cyfarthfa, he would be tempted to accompany him. Item 2: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 20 Aug[us]t 1790 2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/39). He congratulates Boucher on the birth of a son, announced in his letter of 9 Aug. Dr. Drake was appointed to Rochdale, but Stevens does not yet know who is to have Hadley, for which Old Jones once applied. Boucher has, for once, been unsuccessful in his stockjobbing. Item 3: [William Stevens to John Moore, Archbishop of Canterbury, draft], undated (1790?) 1 page Draft. (B/3/40). He wishes to exchange his present post of Treasurer [of Queen Anne's Bounty] for that of Receiver of the Tenths, which is attended with less trouble and some additional profit. Item 4: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 13 Octo[be]r 1790 1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/41). He saw nothing ludicrous in his letter to the Archbishop; there will probably be another candidate, as John Bacon would prefer the Receivership of Tenths to that of First Fruits. He has had a letter from Bp. Skinner [Bp. of Aberdeen; D.N.B.] who desires to be remembered to honest Mr. Boucher. George Robinson desires to see Tom Payne's account. Item 5: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 20 Octo[be]r 1790 1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/42). His previous letters have not been answered. If Boucher intends to come to town this week, he may take Stevens to Ewell on Saturday. Item 6: [William Stevens], Ewell, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 21 Nov. 1790 1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/43). Boucher is engaged on the affairs of his Uncle Luke [Foreman] who, out of spite, has left all his money to his brother Charles. Item 7: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 23 Nov[ember] 1790 Stevens has had a letter from the Bishop [? of Norwich] whose health has improved.  1 p. ALS. Signed with monogram.  (B/3/44).
