| Description | Writer: Dickes, William
Addressee: Benson, Edward, auditor of Canterbury Cathedral
Addressed to Benson at Billericay [Essex]. Will pay Messrs Child and Co. for the licence allowing for the consecration of Dr [James] Cornwallis as bishop of Lichfield and Coventry to take place elsewhere than at Canterbury. The formalities before consecrating Samuel Hallifax, DD as bishop of Gloucester are delayed because [William Legge,] Lord Privy Seal, and [Edward Thurlow,] Lord Chancellor, are away from London. Contemporary endorsements, including no. 22.
