MS location unknown. Printed in Musings over the Christian Year, xxvii.

My dear Child,
I hope I have not embarrassed you by keeping these slips till now.

I a little doubt about the bits of Greek you put in, and I certainly should advise more to be said about Pentecost. There was a Church in a kind of sense, but according to my understanding there was no Church in the proper sense until then – vid. S. John vii, 39, &c., and the many places in which the Church is said to go out from Zion. Do you not think there is some danger of your crowding too much matter into these brief dialogues, I mean danger of their being less interesting and useful than they might be . . . .

Yours affte,
J. K.
