“Just to say how much I enjoyed Cobbold & Kin. With such a vast project I was astounded how Clive managed all the data into something so cohesive and readable.
I think my favourite family member was William Rust Cobbold. This was down wholly to how Clive wrote about him such as recording that he “was not over blessed with humour or charm”. I liked the description as to his demise as well!
For opposing reasons was also very taken with the biography of Felix Thornley Cobbold. I was very interested in him becoming a Liberal and so going against the family political trait. His philanthropy was quite outstanding, even extending to bequeathing of land to be used as allotments.
My favourite photograph was of Ralph and obviously he (Ralph) liked it too as used by him for the frontispiece of his book ‘Innermost Asia’!
Anyway I’ll leave off for now other than to thank you again for making it possible for me to read about the Cobbolds. And of course please pass my congratulations on to Clive for achieving such a magnificent outcome to his project”.
