Both items in good condition, lightly aged and worn. ONE: 22 September 1856. 4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Docketted: 'Revd J. E. Kempe about Annie's XG. & Tait, new Bp of London | Sep 1856'. After discussing arrangements for meeting he turns to Tait, about to be consecrated Bishop of London. 'You ask about our new Bishop. I have reason to think it an excellent appointment. Great administrative ability, a remarkable talent for business, indefatigable industry, most conciliatory manners, a total freedom from party of any kind, considerable learning, and great piety - these are the qualities which I am assured by those who know him are united in Dr. Tait.

He has been 'tantalized by the offer of Cartwell - the Lakes - Morecambe Bay &c &c.'.…

I sent the MS. with a view of sparing you a second message by the hands of Mr. Bradley Sent. who was passing your House this afternoon. The Archery business shall be attended to when I return from my short excursion. I do not know the Book you mention but the 'Boweman's Glory' published by Waring of the Archery Warehouse near Bedford Square is an excellent compilation. I know he has some copies on hand - [.]" He asks Nichols if he intends to put up a Target in his father's fields at Hammersmith and asks for his name to be put down for the "Corps". He continues, "The Toxophilus of Ascham by the bye should be used by every antiquary at least once in his life - | Independent of Archery it is an excellent Book - he is the Walton of his favourite sport [signature folllowed by Postscript] Your proof will find me at [address of a John Robinson in Milton near Gravesend given, and he concludes], "I recd Southey's book of the Church [.].
