From a letter to his brother, Sir Joseph Paxton
"Langford, Bicester May 19th 1846
My dear brother,
If you are as Rich as you are reported to be and wish to place the sum of L44,000 in Landed Security I want to Borrow that sum on Mortgage for a Client of mine--the annual Rent is about L4,000. Situated in Salop and Gloucestershire the Estate in the Latter County is one of the prettiest & Most Delightful in the queendom. I have been Receiver to these Estates about Seven years and therefore am in full Possession of every particular belonging to it. Some years since the Husband of the present owner who was a Hivesmarket man Changed his Estate with six or seven differnet Mortgages at amounts of Interest. My object is to pay off all those Little Barking Dogs & to have only one Lien to deal with. If you and your friends can I will Raise the wind. The Estate is worth L100,000 the interest is fair security good & the parties Honourable.
I am your Loving brother, William Paxton"
From a letter to one of his sisters-in-law:
"Langford Bicester July 20th 1850
My dear sister,
I thank you for your kind letter but the news of my brothers success in the plan for the building for the grand exhibition in 1851 did not so much surprise me as previous to receiving your Communication my Brother sent me a Copy of the illustrated news after I had Read the description and Minutely examined the Architecture of the Whole Scheme. I Laid down the paper and Said to my Wife and family-- The Realm is my brothers he has arrived at the Climax. Nothing can surmount him and so it has proved. This however is adding another Cubit of pride to the old Patriarch of one hundred Juners? in a direct line from one Father and Mother who would Leap for Joy could they but have a peep from the frame.
My Wife and Self are pretty well in Health that is to say as well as old people generally are that are Boardering on seventy. The Rest are all
well.
I was pleased to hear such a healthful account of all that bear my name in your part of the world.
Joseph Kendall is at California Rolling in gold dust. He has sent one bag to his Wife and gives a flattering account of his prospects.
My Wife Self and all my family join in our best Love to yourself my Brother and all our Relatives in and around Chatsworth.
I am your Loving Brother, W. Paxton
