English divine (1794-1868). 3 pages, 16mo. Heavily damp-damaged. Text entirely legible. 3 pages, 16mo. With attractive pencil drawing of country house, and crude plan, in pencil on blank reverse of second leaf of bifoliate (conceivably drawn by the recipient, Croker). Among his many reasons for regretting 'the haste with which I was compelled to pass thro' London' on his way to Oxford was his 'disappointment at Kensington on Saturday'. He intends 'putting myself on the Oxford Coach on Tuesday the 25th in obedience to your summons; ever holding myself bound to pay you full suit of service for having released me from that most awkward predicament of arrest for debt in a foreign Land - | Pray offer my best Compts to Mrs. Croker & the Ladies'. Signed 'Charles T. Longley'.
