Begins: 'My dear Sir / I am going to ask of you a favour by which you would greatly oblige me if you have no objection. It is to lend me the Key of the Private Chapel belonging to you in Findon Church, that I may make a drawing with measurements of the East window, which I wish to copy for my Church. I would not ask this by a messenger if I was not pressed by the necessity of getting my work at Lavington Church finished with all speed.' He asks the recipient to entrust '[McLean?]' with the key, and undertakes to return it on the Wednesday.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. Twenty-six lines of text, in a close and disciplined hand. Signed 'Henry. E C. Archbp'. In fair condition, lightly aged, with small dap of light red ink at head of last page. Folded once. Begins: 'the Guardians of the Poor. Not a Catholic Child would they give up 24 years ago. Now all the 33 Boards give us our Children, & give us their maintenance out of the Rates. They Visit our Schools and are perfectly content: & we are on the fairest & friendliest terms. What has been done here may be done every-where, and with greater ease for here the children were in their Schools. In Parish Schools the children are in their own homes & a little help from the rate would be 1/3 of the maintenance of each child.' In the following paragraph he discusses the recipient's 'point' with regard to 'the entrance of women into politics', which he believes 'is the beginning of confusion & will end in chaos'. He feels the same about 'Girton & Girl graduates'. He is free from illness, 'but shut up for the winter'. Postscript: 'I send you a perfect copy of the Fifty Reasons'.
