Autograph Letter Signed to [?] Brougham.

Irish churchman and philosopher (1860-1927). Four pages, 12mo. Good, though grubby and a tad spotted, and with remains of previous mount adhering to lower-half of verso of second leaf of bifoliate (not affecting text). Begins 'My dear Brougham | I have read over the article in the Gazette on SPG, and have ascertained that Mr. White had nothing, directly or indirectly, to say to it. I think that the scope of the article precluded any mention of individual workers of recent years, as it was meant to give a general view. [...] | Everyone concerned with SPG knows the deep interest which your Father has taken in its progress, and the value of his influence. But I do not think that it would really do him honour to write a letter as you suggest. As the matter stands, no one wd. imagine (I think) that he had been slighted, [...]' Postscript claims that Brougham is mistaken 'About the origin of the Chhota Nagpur Mission'. Signed 'John H Bernard'.
