To the Reverend John Frederick Watkinson Bullock
Elderfield Otterbourne
Jan 31 [1894]
Dear Mr Bullock, I think Gordon must have been confirmed, as he was chiefly brought up in England. I see you have marked Bishop Andrews. Can you tell me of any short biography of him, I have to recommend books for our Higher Religious Education Society - books for that era of James I I doubt Miss C Coleridge having time to write for you.

Otterbourn
July 9th [1853]

My dear Madam, I enclose the Lesser Holidays, in which I have made one alteration namely the omission of the Augustinian order as having been founded by St Augustine. He seems to have framed a rule of some kind, but it was not till the 9th century (according to Mrs Jameson) that the monastic persons not belonging to the rule of St Benedict were classed under this name, and his rule merely seems to have been ... continue reading

The two months holidays come now, and would you kindly tell the brood that I think they had better not send me any questions after the holidays till I tell them.

To Anne Elizabeth Mary Anderson Morshead
January 19, 1869

My dear Mary Thank you so much for your long letter and history of all your doings. I am sure if usefulness makes a happy life this ought to be one, and you must have much of kindness and of the sense of a living Church round you to fill you with energy.
