Autograph Letter Signed to "Monsignor Patterson".

Two pages, 8vo, remains of glue from tipping in, text clear and complete. He has been talking to the Duke of Argyll on a matter with which he might help. "Mr Hayes Fisher who is standing in the Conservative Interest at Fulham has told me that he is meeting with considerable opposition there from the Catholic Priests. Could you exercise any influence there? As you know we are fighting the battle of 'fair play in the matter of Education Grants to all Religious Denominations' and we look with confience to the support of Catholics in consequence. . . ." Hayes Fisher (DNB) was Fulham MP from 1885 to 1906 and 1910 to 1918. The Monsignor was a friend of Browning's.
