12mo, 3 pp. Regarding the 'assigning of an income to the Regius Professor of Medicine out of the Ewelme Charity': 'I trouble you with a line to say that I have recommended the allowance of £250 a year, and that when the revenues of the Charity shall reach £1000 a year, it shall be submitted to the Court to increase the amount to… £300 or £350'. Asks if there is 'any other matter connected with my office upon which you would wish for information, before I seek a week or two's repose? (of which I have had none, not even for an hour since I came into office.)'. The note to Acland (on the reverse of the second leaf of the bifolium) is addressed to him at Lavington, Petworth, and signed 'Samuel Oxon': 'My dear Acland will you send me this back with a line saying if there is anything touching Ewelme you would have me express'. Written up one side of the letter Wilberforce has written 'When do you come?'.
