Letter from Thomas Browne to Robert Jenkin, concerning the settlement of the statutes for the foundation of John Williams (1582-1650). Browne writes that he is returning a transcript of the settlement, as he has noted an omission of a clause on the final page relating to the disposal of Williams's livings to other Fellows, as well as further minor details in want of correction. He discusses the terms of the settlement and how they have been applied by the College. He will write to Jenkin again concerning the provision of scholarships by the foundation once he has acquired more information on the matter. Notes that, in his last letter, he mentioned his desire to consult the book of bye-foundations after the Election, and while he no longer needs to consult the accounts of Williams's foundation, he still wishes to view those of other foundations where an alteration was made to the settlement upon the Estate's falling short of money. Offers the humble service of himself, his wife, Dr. Kenyon and Mr. Bedford, and recommends Pinsent as a candidate at the forthcoming Election of Scholars. Dated 3rd November 1721.
