PATTESON
(Sir John, 1790-1861, Judge of the King's Bench )
Charming autograph letter signed to his brother Edward,
saying his gout "while it stayed was very trifling so I had no chance of being a cook in a rage", they have had "long letters from Coley", his son John Coleridge PATTESON (1827-1871, from 1861 Bishop of Melanesia), "last date November 23rd - they got back to Auckland on the 17th. ... They visited 66 Islands & landed 81 times - never in danger from the natives but once, when two arrows were shot at their boat as they went off: one went over their heads & the other fell 10 yards short - He is very hopeful of doing good, but bitterly laments that there are so few labourers in the Vineyard & of those few many not of the right sort - How should it be otherwise, well-educated men won't go, & half-educated men do almost more harm than good", he rejoices that "you have good accounts from Franky; he is a plucky fellow to have shaken off the fever & marched up to Cawnpore &c", while "Colin ... plans & executes, careful of the lives of his men, leaving nothing to chance ... You see we have knocked up the Denison case - I was quite satisfied on carefully considering the Act of Parliament that we could not come to any other conclusion. I hope that the Archdeacon will not provoke another attack", he is "poor" but sends "a cheque for the Church £5 self - £2 Joan ... It is all very well Rowland Hill making a scapegoat of the Cullompton Postmistress, who no doubt was the primary cause: but the transmission of letters through London is shameful at the London Post Office", 4 sides 8vo.(of which one side is black edged), Feniton Court, Honiton, 9th February
