Content Description

Shortly after Lawrence's death [Henry] Howard and A. Cooper came to him with the Academy's proposal that the funeral should be public. The Academy ultimately only paid £250 of the £1000 that the funeral cost. Chancery queried the £750 payable by the estate and Keightly nearly had to pay it himself.
