He hopes Everett will be 'able and willing to comply' with his request that he attends, at a future date, in 'the school room of Salem Chapel at a meeting on behalf of our Sabbath and day schools'. As Everett is 'relieved from some of [his] wonted Engagements', Parsons hopes 'that no obstacle will exist'. According to Everett's entry in the Oxford DNB, he 'moved to York in 1839. Through failure of health he was [] made a supernumerary minister in 1842, but remained in York, writing more actively than ever'.

Four pages, 4to, creased but good condition. Thanks for a letter. He differs with his correspondent on the "postponing the projected Memoir of Dr Clarke [published 1843-9]. I think it should have appeared 2 or 3 years ago and taken precedence of Dan[ie]l Isaacs. With Dawson's life you are prompt [published 1842] and the publishers will find the advantage in an extensive sale. Every one who has seen him in the Pulpit or heard him from the Platform are desirous to refresh their memory with an outline of his extraordinary character" but postponement of publication would mean loss of public interest. "Not so in Dr Clarke he must live from generation to generation but a 'conversational life' should be for his cotemporaries who are now rapidly passing away. | I think [Thomas] Jackson has murdered his own Work by cutting it into slips for the Magazine and reduced it into shilling parts. Surely a connexion like ours would have taken off the whole 1500 copies of Charles Wesley's Life [.promoting a review in the Magazine]". He then quotes a "MS. Letter Dated Wakefield 27 Sep. 1791" written by William Thompson at length about his life of Whitehead and the effects of publishing it in the Magazine. He goes on to discuss the unsatisfactory "state of our Funds" and mentions the resignation of a "Mr Farmer", Treasurer. He cuts short his letter because of a visit (found among his "books and papers"), but adds a closely written full page of notes on Everett's work on Dr Clarke. Note: Marriott bequeathed £10,000 to the Wesleyan Missionary Society (obit. in Wesleyan Methodist Magazine, vol.75, p.103 (1852)).

See his entry in the Oxford DNB, which characterizes him as 'the most remarkable pulpit orator of his time', and that of his father. 3pp, 12mo. On bifolium. Somewhat aged and with the recto of the first leaf grubby, but with text clear and complete, with thirty-three lines of text in Parsons' close and neat hand. Signed 'James Parsons' and addressed to 'Revd. J. Rawlinson'. He 'must, reluctantly, decline to comply' with Rawlinson's request. He wonders whether he has 'seen, or heard of an announcement in "the Leeds Mercury" with reference to my intended retirement from my Pastorate in York'. He does not know how it got there, 'but the fact is, that at the close of October, fifty years will have passed since I first preached in York, and then, my purpose is to relinquish my Charge'. He continues with reference to his deacon, his 'heavy' labours and the 'decisive step' he is taking. In the last paragraph he notes that he has 'taken no engagement from home, except one, for more than two years, and I must yet persevere in the same course'.
