EVELYN PAPERS. Vol. CXXIX. Letters to William Glanville (1618-1702), his wife Jane Evelyn (1616-1651) and their son William Glanville (1650-1718); 1649-1699. Glanville senior, who was briefly M.P. (1681), had property in Greenwich and Devonshire, but appears to have lived much at or near Wotton. His son was executor to George Evelyn II, perhaps accounting for the presence of these papers in the archive.

1. Letters from John Evelyn to his sister Jane and brother-in-law William Glanville, 1649-1652, followed by letters from John Evelyn, his wife, and John Evelyn junior to William Glanville and his son William Glanville junior, 1669-1699. With some 20th cent. copies. See Evelyn’s letterbook (Add. MS 78298 below) for copies of some of these and some further letters, and Add. MS 78305 for letters of the Glanvilles to Evelyn.
