Frederick Oakeley (1802-1880), a Roman Catholic priest and author, writes to his previous tutor, the Reverend Dr. Charles Richard Sumner (1790-1874, eventually bishop of Winchester) in Windsor, England from Christ Church, University of Oxford, to congratulate Sumner on his pending elevation to the Bench. Oakeley also notes that he failed to get a fellowship to Oriel and is uncertain of his plans. There is a broken (in parts) red wax seal affixed to the letter.
