Summary
Legal documents relating to property transactions, including one signed by John Malthus in 1581, one by Richard Malthus in 1585, and some in the name of Jane Dalton (a cousin and close companion of Malthus' father, Daniel Malthus).
A letter from Daniel Malthus (Malthus' father) to Sydenham Malthus (Daniel's father; Malthus' grandfather) written from Marseilles, during a holiday in France, accompanied by his wife, Harriet, and his sister Anne Hackshaw. The letter refers also to a third (unnamed) lady. The letter is dated ‘Octr 30th’, but the year is not given. The year must have been before 1757 (the year Daniel's father died) and after 1752 (the year of Daniel's marriage).
A biographical account of Rear-Admiral George Frederick Ryves (1758–1826). This document of 22 pages, on paper watermarked ‘EIC [East India College?] 1825’, does not appear to be in Malthus' hand. Malthus was a first cousin of the Rear-Admiral. Malthus' mother's sister, Anna Maria (née Graham) married in 1757 Thomas Ryves (1720–88), FRS. The future Rear-Admiral Ryves was their eldest son. He obtained the rank of Rear-Admiral in 1825.
A letter from George Frederick Ryves to Lord Arundell of Wardour, Wardour Castle, Sarum, Wiltshire, giving details of various naval engagements against the French. Ryves' first wife (m. 1792), Catherine Elizabeth (née Arundell), was related to Lord Arundell of Wardour. She died in 1803 when her husband was at Naples.
