In order to make his point of view clear, he begins by stating: 'I may say that I was born in London & my mother took me to such churches as S. Alban's Holborn, S. Michael's Shoreditch, All Saints, Margaret St. So that from early in the 70's I have been familiar with that type of church, & practically with no other. And all that I have learnt of doctrine, liturgy, history, has been taught from that point of view.' He concludes: 'With all its faults, and they are many, the Catholic Church is Christianity - and the nearer we get to the Catholic Church, the nearer we get to God. [.] If the Ch of England is fundamentally Protestant, let it be stated with authority, irrecovably, & we, who are not protestants will find our spiritual home in the Roman Communion.' Pinned to the letter is a long cutting from the Morning Post, 6 October 1923, titled 'The Anglican Position. | Movement for its Defence | Appeal to Churchmen.'Gell's name appears in a list of signatories at the end. A second cutting, from the Saturday Review, 1 September 1923, is attached to a slip from Durrant's press agency. It carries two letters to the editor, under the heading 'The Anglo-Catholic Movement'; the first is from John G. Hall of Malvern Link, and the second from Hodson, beginning 'SIR, - In discussing the present swing of the pendulum in the Church of England, there is a tendency to forget that England never accepted the Reformation wholeheartedly - and the Church of England claims, and holds, a unique position in Christendom by virtue of that fact.' Hodson was a wealthy brewer, collector of Pre-Raphaelite painting and patron of the Arts and Crafts movement and client of William Morris.

'At the Junction, Solomon Andrews has been busy building houses, but as they are sinking into the peat bog he has had to pull part of them down again; or else they fell down, which they seem to have done to judge by the chaotic confusion of the ruin.' He describes a visit to a 'nearly unspoilt bit of county where Progress is unknown' and 'even the name of Dreyfus signified nothing'. He has 'marvelled' at Capel Curig, 'wished for a month there amongst the crags, to do slaylines & bee-lines. Talk about MacLure on Richmond Hill! Your true mountain scenery is in the neighbourhood of the Glyder Fawr. Lord!' TWO: 27 December 1899. 4pp., 12mo. Thanking him for the Christmas present to his family, and praising the 'dainty talent in design' of 'Mrs Easkin', and commenting on one of her compositions. 'Are you girding your loins, buckling on your sword & preparing for the "front"? Of course, I allude to the "outburst of patriotism" & mobilising of volunteers' (in the Second Boer War).

Lately, I have been afraid of opening the paper, lest "British Reverse", or "Check to Butler" in large type should meet my eye.' He ends by describing Dolgelly, as seen on a recent visit. THREE: 3 May 1906. 2pp., 12mo. He discusses the state of a house: 'The barn door is in a bad state, quite beyond repair. What is left of the ivy will hold up the slates for the present. R.

Each item is on a sheet of laid paper, 39 x 29 cm, and each with the Roycroft watermark. Both items are grubby, with wear and creasing to extremities, but with the design and much of the margin entirely undamaged. Both have an identical block of printed text (roughly 13.5 x 9 cm) at the centre: 'THE truth is that in human service there is no low or high degree: the woman who scrubs is as WORTHY of RESPECT as the man who Preaches | ELBERT HUBBARD'. In both cases this is placed in the green centre of a block of hand-painted illumination roughly 20.5 x 15 cm: one of the two with a brown, yellow and red decorative border, and the other with a blue, green and red border. Both with the Roycroft single-R orb device to the bottom right outside the illumination. No record found on COPAC or WorldCat.
