Item 50 - Letter from Chas Henton Wood, County Club, 13 Tichborne St, Leicester

Has received the list of First Court, and requests the other courts in order to help all he can. He was at St John's 1849 to 1853. He had an attic in D Third Court in 1849, with Garland opposite and John Denton, Vicar of Ashby de la Zouche anda man called Theul below. His rooms had been occupied by Paley, a classical man, and the bedmaker Mrs Grout used to say that she always found Euclid and other mathematics texts chucked into the corner every morning. There used to be an observatory on the tower between second and third court. Reminisces about 'hat + stick Thompson'[?] who used to maunder about the cloisters after dark accusing him of mocking him when he used a stick after spraining his ankle. F.C. Woodhouse is at Holy Trinity vicarage, Folkstone, and was possibly in G First Court.
