Carshalton Pond

In 1981, John Ruskin made financial provisions for the restoration and maintenance of a pond in the village of Carshalton. He arranged with W.H. White to oversee this activity. In 1905, White returned to Ruskin the remains of the funds that had been given for this purpose. The file consists of correspondence between White and Ruskin's secretary Joan Severn. The 1905 correspondence is from Juliet Morse, who was investigating Ruskin's involvement in this matter.
