BRACEBRIDGE
(Rev. Phillip, c. 1714-1762, DD by Diploma 1749, Rector of Fenny Drayton in Leicestershire)
Autograph Letter to Rev. Phillip Bracebridge from his sister (probably Anne)
saying that Your letter to Pappa about standing for a Fellowship at All Souls I have sent to him in London but I don't see how he can do anything in it till you send a list of the Fellows of that College; and inform yourself in particular who has the most Interest in the elections and how they may be applyed to; which I wonder you did not acquaint him with in your last. You may put the list in a Cover and direct to William Taylor Esq Member of Parliament in the Inner Temple London. I have transcribed an old list of the Fellows of All Souls in 1719 when Brother Thom. stood for a Fellowship there, which is so long since that I fear it will be of no other Service to you than to put you in a method of getting a new one after the same manner..., 1 side folio, no place, no date, circa
