| Bishop | Boulter, Hugh/Bristol 1719-1724 |
| Letter, H Sloper to Bishop Hugh, at request of Dr Leigh: asking that 'you would give your letter to ye Bishop of Bath and Wells to ordain him...He is one of ye Curates your Lordship sent the ten pounds to & is in very poor Circumstances'. As he is described as being a curate, this is presumably a request that he be ordained priest. |
