Thank you very much for your letter of 25 October, enclosing copies of
Mr Paul R I-1uey‘s letter.

There is a, biography of Sir Horace Mann 1317 in the Dictionary of National
Biograghx. A friend. of Horace Walpole, he was the British envoy at
Florence.

I recall uznierrlzaking some research on him and his family, but my notes are
still in store. I think he rented Bourne Park for a number of years. many
of the family papers are deposited at the Kent Record Office at Maidstone
(Cornwallis (Mann) ass - Linton Paxk Estate - Ref. U24); the family were,
irgter alia, related to the Baker family, owners of the Sissinghursiz Estate

and Sissinghurst Castle.

Thank you very much for the bookmark, which I will use with my volumes
of The History of Parliaznentt
