This note was in with the letters but note in any envelope as I found them.
Obviously from John Wesley Hackworth’s engineering works in Darlington from the 1870’s.

Letter to Miss Hackworth Regarding Delays to Launching the Monument to Timothy Hackworth
Early Family History by Samuel H. Young from 1912
Letters from the Joan Hackworth-Weir Collection 20
This was with the letters but not in an envelope and appears to be early family history notes by Samuel H Young, dated 8 / 5 / 12 and is not recent so the year 12 would be 1912! The notes have been appended and ticked along the way so it’s obviously been used as a working document in building the family tree.
Drafts of a Letter to the Editor Vindicating Timothy Hackworth
Letters from the Joan Hackworth-Weir Collection 19
I’m not sure who wrote these loose sheets of what appears to be drafts of a letter to an editor in reply to letters in the paper / magazine regarding Timothy Hackworth’s historic role. At first I thought they may have been written by John Wesley Hackworth but one of the pieces mentions John Wesley Hackworth. Judging by the paper and writing, they seem to be written pre-1925 but i’m not sure – Anyway here they are…
Note – the designations I’ve added (A) (B) (Bb) etc do not indicate the order in which the drafts or versions were written – the sheets were loose in the case) but just indicate separate versions. Where I’ve put Bb for example – a small ‘b’ indicates the flip side of a particular draft.
A.
B
Bb
C
Cb
D (This was found separately but I think it belongs with these drafts)
Db (I designated this as Db but in fact this bit wasn’t on the back of the above sheet D but with it.)
There is an envelope of similar pieces yet to be looked at – if they are part of the same drafting or throw light on the author, I will add them to this post when I’ve looked at them.
