1 item, paper

Letter from Samuel Hey (President of Magdalene College) to the Hon. Sir John Griffin Griffin (Visitor) explaining how he worked out the income of the Mastership which Sir John had requested in his letter [see MCAD/1/1/29]

He also says that he and the Fellows were not acquainted with Mr Peckard, but should he accept the Mastership they would endeavour to do everything in their power to make it as agreeable as possible. As Mr Peckard was not acquainted with the ways of the University he might find some trifling inconveniences at first. If Mr Peckard wished to see the College and Lodge or had any questions about the College before making his decision then he [Mr Hey] would assist.
