The sub-series contains material relating to the general administrative records and correspondence concerning all aspects of logistical planning for the Latin Play. This includes indexes of addresses to send invitations and tickets to, instructions for those assisting with the play, audience seating plans and production notes. The sub-series is incomplete and most material dates from the first half of the 20th Century.

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.

Celebrated his birthday (16th December) on the 17th - more suited to gaiety than the Sabbath. Cannot stand novels. Has just read the life of the actor John Bannister, who used to join the boys for fencing tuition under Angelo, and afterwards for beefsteak and porter at Mother Dawson's (see 31). The Play (was to have been The Andria) will not happen this year because of the death of the Queen Dowager (Adelaide, widow of William IV).
