LODGE
(Sir Oliver Joseph, 1851-1940, Scientist)
Fine Typed Letter Signed to Canon BICKERSTETH
(Samuel, 1857-1937, Canon of Leeds Minster and later Librarian of Canterbury Cathedral) saying that he was glad that he had “had an opportunity of listening in through the ingenuity of a friend, under rather interesting circumstances; I am surprised that it worked so well. I have never been to Canterbury (I am rather ashamed to say;) I have once or twice thought of making a pilgrimage thither, but it always feels a long way off by the Southern Railway, and my time is terribly limited. But you hold out a temptation which I expect, when the Spring comes, I shall not be able to resist. I cannot say more at present...”, 1 side 4to., with an autograph note by the recipient, “ans’d 12/2/25 SB choose a week next term with Lord Lodge”, Normanton House, Salisbury, headed paper, 7th February
