Scope and Content Information

This collection consists of three items, 1882 & 1899, including an electrostatic copy of the printed poem, The Albrighton Hunt (1882) by T.E. Whitehurst (original transferred to the Rare Books Division) and a letter to Hubert Smith of Bridgworth, England, May 13, 1882, with envelope, enclosing a copy of The Albrighton Hunt by the person who found the manuscript among the papers of the late [William Grarsbrook ?] of Park Hall and had it published "to give to any old sportsmen, who remembered those bygone days."

Also present is a letter from Hubert Smith, August 12, 1899, discussing Song of the Wheatland Chase (glued to the letter) which appeared in the Bridgworth Journal on June 17, 1899. The poem was written by "Vanguard" identified as Thomas Winter Wood who hunted the Wheatland Chase for two years in 1873-1875, and was a member of the Woods of Hareston, Devonshire. Smith also relates a sad event also described in Two Years in the Wheatland or the Master's Daughter , edited by E.F.H. and published in 1875.
