| Description | Letters relate to the building of Wassand Hall, the appointment of Mr Cleave as clerk of works and the ongoing problems that arise between Rev Charles Constable and Mr Cleave and tries to clarify the relationship between gentleman and tradesman. Thomas Cunday expresses his faith in Mr Cleave 'who I know to be equal to the business', and presses Rev Charles Constable to work with him as it would be a great saving if he did. He mentions wages, work on the bookcases (which arrive at Hull on the ship 'Providence') and a mahogany door. Includes a bill for £379 (dated 9 Nov 1815) and a reminder to Rev Charles Constable to pay his bill. |
