Westminster School

Henry Mordaunt Clavering to John Benn

Has heard from a Second Election that the Play is to be continued this year, the Adelphi. The Head Master, educated at the Charter House (see 3), has abandoned Busby's Latin grammar, which formed so many eminent men (William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, William Markham, Archbishop of York, and Robert South, and replaced it with Lily, used by many of the minor country schools. Has doubled the number of lessons and introduced Maths, unknown in their day. The scholars' dormitory now only used for sleeping, and the space beneath it has been converted into 3 day rooms - these alone have fires, and there are none in the dormitory. On the possibility of a Papal nuncio in London (see 31) - perhaps Daniel O'Connell's prediction of 2 years ago will happen, the celebration of Mass in Westminster Abbey.

3rd performance of the Play took place last night - in addition to the clergy and the Heads of Houses and tutors from the two universities, there were present from the government Lord Morpeth and the Marquis of Lansdowne (Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice OW), so perhaps the school may be revived.
