Description:
Content: Folios 581-582. Letter from Thomas Webster, Assistant Overseer, Braughing, in the Bishops Stortford Poor Law Union, to the Poor Law Board. He expresses surprise at the statement by Mr Adey [Daniel Goodson Adey], District Auditor [for Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire], concerning the collection of poor rates, contained in their letter [dated 28 October 1852]. Webster states that he has kept the books since August 1852 and makes regular reports to the board of guardians. He took all his books to the audit, but Adey did not look at them. Webster told him that he had them with him, but thinks Adey must have misunderstood him. Annotated: Mr Austin [Alfred Austin, Poor Law Inspector], 19 November 1852. Paper Number: 43899/1852.
