2pp., 12mo. Bifolium. He explains that his 'first object' in calling on Walker was to ask him 'to say a few emphatic words on the subject of the Notice you are requested to read this evening at Waltham Street. I refer to the Public Meeting to be held in the Public Rooms in Jarratt Street on Friday evening next at 7 o'clock.' He complains that 'Mr. Greathead simply read [last two words underlined] the Notice this morning; and unluckily he did this while the boxes were being circulated for the Chapel Fund Collection', and that 'the reading of it would, if heard at all, make little impression'. He has invited the 'Revd. Mr. Macguire of Clerkenwell' to be his guest, and his lecture will be on 'Romanism, its fall and decline abroad, and its rise and progress at home'. He concludes with his 'second object in calling': to invite Walker to supper after the lecture.
