Autograph Letter Signed to 'Dear Mr Dean',
saying that his kind invitation is very tempting, but I am so overcrowded with engagements that I am forced to decline. I have no less tthan six or sever extra special sermons this month alone at the top of all my regular preaching & tying parochial work & heavy correspondence (I have just despatched some twenty letters etc) & a great pressure of literary & other work. Hence I have no choice but to say No..., 3 sides 8vo., 17 Dean's Yard, Westminster, 5th November no year
