Unsigned/unfinished letter pointing out that the restrictions of the Smith benefaction were consistent with Bateman's statutes on admission of natives of the Norwich diocese, and Caius' supposed prohibition of natives of the Welsh counties.

The benefaction referred to is probably that of Samuel Coleby Smith, who by a will of 1851, left money for the foundation of a fellowship open to those in holy orders who were natives of Norfolk.
