A file of letters (one is original, 5 May 1869, 4pp, the other nine are copies) from the Duke of Norfolk to Dr Charles Russell concerning his family and the various events in their lives. Includes a letter concerning his son's new residence (Dervent Hall, Sheffield). Remarks '...the Catholic element is sadly wanting and gives a desolate feeling. We have a priest and portable altar with us and I hope the first masses which can have been offered here since the reformation will bring a blessing on my son's taking possession.' (20 August 1868, 1p).
