Letter, page two: transcript
This sort of thing is going on all over Britain, and if one does not move out they are evicted from their freeholds. Indeed a 84-year-old man has evicted just recently and he was offered far less than a third of replacement value. At this time of life it can of course be fatal. Age or illness has no bounds to the British government. Time and time again they shrug off attempts for a fair deal.
I have written to the Queen, Prime Minister and members of the ministry, but all to no avail, every democratic way way I have tried. Would it be possible for you to try and make the British government see sense, for the sake of mankind to relieve human suffering. This would benefit many people in this democratic country as well as ourselves. If we are forcibly evicted I would be more than grateful if you could rehouse us in some way.
Ironically the man who will use our land for his private company said he will be Basildon's first millionaire, yet the land has been classed as 'parkland' and we are to be made homeless. The government are selling land at 76 times the price they are offering us and others. This is British justice, they are confiscating our home and my business which I have run here, completely ruining people's lives - no wonder they say one in seven have to spend time in a mental home.
Below are a few details of our family tree, but even the fact that they had contributed a great deal to the history of this country to try and make it a fair and decent place in which to live - morals it would appear have changed in Britain - had no influence.
Samuel 1757. Lord Mayor of London. 1814. Compose musical dramas - Convent Garden. One of few Londoners to have medal struck in his honour.
Samuel 1813. One of the world's leading Egyptologists. Helped solve hieroglyphics. British Museum 1836-1885.
DR Walter 1842. Dept of manuscripts British Museum.
Guthlac 1884. COL DSO commander of 51st battalion Gordon Highlanders. Chief arbitrator in strikes occupied Germany. Commissioner British occupied territory Germany. Order of Leopold.
