Autograph Letter Signed to 'H Hoare Esq'.

English high-churchman and writer (1813-72), co-editor of the 'Christian Remembrancer' and one of the founders of the 'Saturday Review'. Three pages, 12mo. Grubby, and with two small closed tears at head of first leaf of bifoliate, and one small closed tear at head of second leaf; remains of grey-paper mount on verso of second leaf. There was a meeting of 'several clergy of this archdeaconry' at his house that morning: 'There were I think ten or twelve present. We agreed to nominate Messrs. Bageley & Toogood on Wednesday'. Arrangements have been made, and 'several proposers and Seconders' have been secured. He hopes that 'nothing will occur to disturb this nomination - as all the parties left with a full understanding | and at this late hour it will be impossible to summon them again. [...] Mr. Knight of Hackney was with us - & will explain what was done'.
