Correspondence files,

Correspondence files of Farrer & Co. for their client Marquis Camden relating to Arthur Henry Walsh (third lord Ormathwaite from 1920) and Lady Clementine. Much of the correspondence is with Lord Camden and with H. J. W. Holt of Broughton, Holt & Middlemist, lord Ormathwaite’s solicitor and receiver of the Ormathwaite estates. Arthur William Stanton of Vandercom, Stanton & Co. was appointed Ormathwaite’s receiver in 1928 in place of Mr Holt, and was himself replaced by Harold Marson Farrer in 1932. The letters were given the reference ‘D 2’ from at least July 1920 onwards.

Correspondence. The family correspondence has been divided into two groups: bound and unbound letters. With the exception of G 1 below all the bound family letters (G 2-51) were arranged and stitched together by Sir John Walsh in 1828 and 1837 and afterwards placed in uniform box files: these were labelled 'Family Letters & Papers' together with the appropriate number. The correspondence (roughly 2,500 letters) begins after Sir John Walsh's departure to Eton in 1811 and ends with his mother's death in 1836. The first extant box file is numbered 'Vol. VII'; presumably the first six box files contained (at least) the correspondence between Sir John Walsh's parents between 1786 and 1811 since very few such letters have survived in this archive or in the archive now housed at the India Office Library. The unbound family correspondence comprises a small number of letters missed by Sir John Benn Walsh (many in fact were tucked away in his mother's diaries) and a small remnant of what was once a large body of post-1836 family letters (see Introduction).
