The ledger was begun by M. G. Hewins (G 1911 - c.1916) and contains accounts and results of senior and junior sporting events within the house; including racquets, gym, swimming and rowing, as well as inter-house competitions. It also includes a list of colours at the end of each season and criticisms of the players. At the beginning of the volume are lists of team members who are in the photographs of the football and cricket senior teams from previous years.
This book contains a register of the boys' attendance at Station, the time allotted for sport every afternoon, unless the weather was bad.
Henry Mordaunt Clavering to John Benn
Adding his name to JB's in the petition to the Dean of Westminster (Buckland) not to cancel the Latin Play, appreciated as much by town boys as by the scholars (who did the actual acting). (Both HMC and JB appear in the petition A0019/D3FK7.) Quote from Terence Eunuchus. In relation to this asks for address of Thomas Trebeck. Desirable for schools to employ only old boys, in order that frivolous but harmless traditions can be maintained - e.g. Liddell, educated at Charterhouse, has been trying to stop or at least control the Greaze. Pulteney (see 24) visits often, but this will stop for a while as he is visiting a son who has a rich living in Lincolnshire and hunts and shoots - quote from The Chase by William Somerville. Has been reading a Life of Watson, Bishop of LLandaff, father of a KS of 1777 (not so, according to the Record), and also the reminiscences of their fencing coach, Henry Angelo (in a room in Dean's Yard rented from William Pierce, teacher of book-keeping and arithmetic).
Clavering, Henry Mordaunt, 1766-1850
