My dear Miss Warren,

Many thanks for your three letters and their enclosures. I am very glad the Society has taken it up, for not only will it now be cheaper and better got up, but it is a relief from responsibility - Miss Goodrich is personally known to Mr Evans, and has written a good many little books and tracts for the SPCK -'The cross bearer' - Faith Ashwin, the Chamois Hunters &c- Fanny Wilbraham ... continue reading

My dear Miss Warren,

The Lecture has not yet found its way to me, but I hope it soon will. I know there is no reason for mistrusting the post in such cases as a family party generally takes a good while in all sucking the marrow of anything of the sort, especially if it be in M S, and as I do not think we are likely to be interrupted for a long time there ... continue reading

My dear Miss Roberts, I have nothing to say in excuse for myself, but that somehow I had the impression of having written to thank you for the two last Cathedrals, so that between putting off at first and forgetting after wards, it has been neglected, and I am very sorry for it. We read them at the time with much interest and I shall be glad to use them when the time for them comes. ... continue reading

My dear Miss Roberts, Here is the first part of your Cathedral sketches. I think I must put them in every alternate month, as there is a ‘press of matter’ and they will better bear a long interval than would any continuous narrative. I waited for them to reply to your last letter, I always feel it a kindness to be written to as if I was a personal acquaintance, so pray do not apologize for ... continue reading

My dear Miss Roberts, I am very sorry for my very stupid omission. I fancied that I had sent the money before for Ely, but I see it was not so, and I am much obliged to you for reminding me. These stamps should have come before but that our village post office requires a day’s notice when it is called upon for so large a supply.

I hope Lincoln at least will come in your ... continue reading

My dear Miss Roberts, It is indeed a long time since we have had any communication, though I have been intending to write to you for more weeks past than I like to count - ever since I think, I sent Lincoln Cathedral to be put in type! Then I put it off from day to day, meaning to send you the proof, but at last the article was put in without sufficient notice for me ... continue reading
