VICTORIA R.
Trusty and Wellbeloved, We greet you well.
Whereas by the death of Doctor Whittington Landon, late Dean of that our Cathedral Church of Exeter, the Deanery thereof is become vacant and our said Church thereby destitute of a Governor, We being careful and desirous that a meet person, both for Learning and Integrity, be placed in the said Deanery, have thought fit by these Presents to recommend unto you our Trusty and Wellbeloved Thomas Grylls, Clerk, Master of Arts, one of the Prebendaries of our said Cathedral Church, to be preferred to that place, whom we know to be every way capable to undertake that Government.—We do therefore especially recommend him unto you, requiring and commanding you to assemble yourselves with all convenient speed, and in due order to elect him Dean of that our Cathedral Church; the same to be enjoyed by him with all Rights, Preeminences, Commodities and Profits to that Place belonging, in as ample manner and form as the late Dean thereof or any other his Predecessors did enjoy, or ought to have enjoyed the same.Given at our Court at Saint James’s, the Twelfth day of June, 1839, in the Second Year of Our Reign.
By Her Majesty’s Command,
J. RUSSELL.
To Our Trusty and Wellbeloved the President and Chapter of Our Cathedral Church of Exeter.
