Richard Newton, Canon of Christ Church, first became principal of Hart Hall, Oxford, and later of Hertford College; he is described in the DNB as an 'educational reformer'; 'his statutes for Hertford College were strict, and aimed at economy and efficiency of supervision over the undergraduates by their tutors'; he had been disappointed in his hopes of establishing Hart Hall as a College for the training of poor students for the ministry, and in obtaining 'assistance from the wealthy among his former pupils, and especially from the Pelhams' ... His life 'exhibits an example of independence, honesty, and disinterestedness, rare indeed among the churchmen of his time''.

The main text of the letter is dated '27 May, 1727'; two Postscripts follow, the first, (on pages 49-52), dated '27 May, 1733', the second, (on pages 53-56), is undated.
