DescriptionThese are primarily concerned with conveying news of members of Roman Catholic families who had sons studying at Oscott college and who John Howard Galton was also acquainted with. The Throckmorton family of Buckland and Weston Underwood is most often mentioned, and many letters discuss social arrangements made between John Howard Galton and Hubert Galton to stay with members of this family. The letters illustrate the close contact between the Thomas Potts and the Galton family at Dudson, and the hospitality shown by Lucy Galton to boys at Oscott, and to Thomas Potts himself.
