Reference: Me C 1/1/3/1
Title: Letter from Thomas Parker, Newcastle to Robert Venables.
Description:

Copy letter. Refers to Venables' treatment of his daughter at Chester, charging her with disobedience and the breach of her vow to him. Asks Venables to look upon his daughter as his child once again and to provide for her son as he has done for his other daughters. If his son does not receive a proper education it will be Venables' fault. He had sufficient money when he was first married but has not had money since buying Milwich which he bought upon Venables' promise to give him lands and debts out of which £1,500 might be raised but instead he has only received £66. Asks his father's advice on a business matter concerning Mrs. Crompton' selling her interest in Milwich and asks for permission to visit him at Wincham.
