Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

These letters, addressed to Robert Bainbridge, Keeper of Hampton Court Park, are (except for the first two) from the Office of Works and are signed usually by the Secretary, Alfred Austin (1856-68) or George Russell (1869-70). These are all official letters requesting returns of the numbers of deer or of estimates of expenditure, giving approval for the acquisition of additional deer or for purchase of hay. Bainbridge died early in 1870 and the last letters are addressed to his son E. W. Bainbridge until the new keeper was appointed and to his widow stating that the Board had no power to grant a pension.
