Dear Dr. Blackwell.
Did I see the
enclosed short paper?
It explains general
motives.
We hope, chiefly, to
lodge say within in the
heart of East End London
where they will not merely
hear of the problems,
but feel them, and
touch, and handle 
them!
Our London meeting for men
is on  Apr. 2. when we
hope to form a London
Christian Committee.
I hope, when once we get a start,
we may have your helpful cooperation
Yours H.S. HollandCh. U. 
Dear madam.
I am exceedingly
sorry: but, having
missed writing by the
first post to you, 
I found myself totally
unable to know

have managed Monday

it is chieflyregret for my [?]
that afflicts me-
I am extremely anxious
to stir the Oxford
Municipal authorities
out of their pitiful
indifference. But am
grievously ignorant of
any means but the
ordinary [?] of

Pray forgive my unlucky
forgetfulness, as the [???]-

of hurry. With many thanks
for your kind good wishes.

Dear Madam.

I will most gladly
do what I can to secure
a circulation for your
stirring and impressive
pamphlet.

McGee, High St. is
the  Bookseller
whom I should advise
dealing with. I have
spoken to him, and he
seems quire willing to
let copies lie in
his shop.
