BENSON

(Edward White, 1829-1896, first Bishop of Truro, Archbishop of Canterbury)
Autograph Letter Signed 'E.W. Truron:' to 'My dear Lord',
saying that Not a Samaritan that I can hear of has murmured - [Greek for] not a grunt. Your paper has done nothing but good unmixed - unshadowed... A few days ago a Quaker gave me £10 for the Cathedral, because he had happened to come in to the Conference that afternoon, and 'was so much impressed by the tone of the Conference towards Non-Conformists' , Benson feels anxious to know that you felt yourself 'treated not as a swell' as your first letter said, but 'as a realswell' after the heart of your friend the Costermonger, he offers his most grateful cordial thanks for kindness shown to this remote House and for good sown in it. - Domestically too for leaving behind you such a spirit of cheerful determination to 'go on' by the plain Church of England way, 4 sides 8vo., Truro, Cornwall, 17th November
Item Date: 1881
