Autograph Letter Signed 'E.Sarum' to Horatio Nelson,
(1823-1913, from 1835 3rd Earl Nelson), saying "I must not quarrel with you for putting my name in the list of those who sympathize with Mr. Munro ... but I have not given him anything", and asks whether "the school at Harrow Weald" is a reasonable case for "contributions from members of the Church generally; or ... permanent endowment. It surely depends too much on personal character & influence to be likely to work independently of these", nearer home "Fisherton, the Penitentiary - and two other parishes with which I am connected by property have drained my purse - now slenderer than ... heretofore", 3 sides 8vo, Salisbury, 31st December

THE GORHAM JUDGEMENT
DENISON
(Edward, 1801-1854, from 1837 Bishop of Salisbury)
Long Autograph Letter Signed 'E.Sarum' to 'My dear Lord'
(Horatio Nelson, 1823-1913, from 1835 3rd Earl Nelson), telling him that "Your letter of yesterday conveyed to me the first intelligence of the proposed meeting on Monday", he has postponed "by a circular last night ... confirmations which I was to have holden tomorrow and Tuesday" (and which Denison habitually took very seriously), as to "a meeting of the Bishops at this momentous time" he has "urged it upon the Archbishop in repeated letters" and is "thankful that at length this step is joined", however he advises Lord Nelson against expecting "any such immediate result as you appear to anticipate ... All precipitate action & all exaggerated expressions under such circumstances are expressions of weakness", if people in consequence secede to Rome or resign their posts "the hands of all will be so weakened ... that a good result will be almost hopeless ... the recent judgment ... is at worst ... a great blot on the Constitution of our Church", he counsels "amending the system" since "even divine things are made in a measure subject to this imperfection in being administered by human agents ... They who are tempted to quit the Church in which they have been nurtured ... should at least say ... 'Lord to whom shall we go' !", a "too eager desire for a state of perfection on earth, has ever been the temptation of sensitive and ardent minds", and they may be missing the opportunity "to be instrumental in correcting" an evil, the Bishop's desire is "preserving first the faith of the Church; & next its efficiency ... tho' the precise course which I may take ... may depend upon circumstances of which I am not as yet fully cognizant", 6 sides 8vo, Salisbury, Saturday 21st April
