[James Prince Lee, first Anglican Bishop of Manchester.] Autograph Letter Signed, thanking Canon Richson of Manchester Cathedral for a pamphlet, praising him, and referring to the ‘School of Art.’

See both men’s entries in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. With mourning border. In good condition, lightly aged. Addressed to ‘Revd Canon Richson’ and ‘Revd and Dear Sir’, and signed ‘J. P. Manchester.’ He thanks him for his pamphlet, stating that it will have his full attention, and praising Richson as ‘thoroughly conversant with education’. Being under the impression that Richson is ‘connected with the School of Art’, he is ‘sending the enclosed as I received it’. The last sentence appears to read: ‘I have only a general recollection in favour decidedly of the party referred to.’ Richson was the author of a number of works. The pamphlet referred to is perhaps his ‘The Revised Code and the Report of the Royal Commissioners on Education in 1861’ (1861).
