WESTCOTT
(Brooke Foss, 1825-1901, New Testament Scholar, from 1890 Bishop of Durham)
Autograph Letter Signed to 'Mrs' Holte,
(he jokes that Holte's letter was addressed to 'Mrs' Westcott), about reviewing some memorial essays, remarking that "a schoolmaster lives from day to day in an atmosphere which is supposed to inspire the affectation of universal knowledge. At best he gives judgment on everything with a readiness and confidence on w[hich] it is alarming to reflect", but on this occasion he will have "the satisfaction of recalling R. Dundas for whom I had a true affection ... it will be a pleasure to me to do anything which would have gratified him", and asking for "(if possible and lawful) a specimen of the usual critique", 3 sides 8vo., Harrow, 24th March
