Ffeil 3078. - [The Reverend} H.M. Cockshott from Hartland Parsonage to Sir J.H. Williams, BART., at Edwinsford,

An appeal on behalf of a Clothing Club established in the parish of Hartland a few years ago by the Revd. Mr. Chanter. The poor of the parish are in very great distress, and have no trade or any means of earning beyond what labour on the land produces. They have now 130 contributors who deposit from 5s. to 6s. each annually, but to enable them to add an equal sum to it they must obtain additional subscriptions. This would enable them to purchase fro, 10s. to 12s. worth of clothing for each contribution. He hopes this application will not be considered intrusive.
