DENISON (Edward, 1801-1854, from 1837 Bishop of Salisbury)

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
