Spencer Cecil Brabazon Ponsenby to Faraday   19 May 18581

May 19/58.

Dear Sir,

I have received Instructions to make out a warrant for you for the House at Hampton Court given to you by the Queen. I find on looking into the matter that there is a pew in the Chapel in the Palace which has hitherto belonged to the House and I would be obliged by your informing me whether you would wish to use it, as in that case I would ascertain, if it is intended that it should be included in your warrant2.

Faithfully yours | Spencer Ponsenby
