letter to the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol :
"Bristol, Sept. 3.
"My dear Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol,-1 have may
this day core to know, by casually reading a copy of it IS
a news per, that on the 211th of August Archdeacoo Den.
ire addressed to you lordship a letter referring to the
Bristol Church Congrw. I should much regret that soy
cause which I could remove should debar the archderoo,
and any who may entertain the like scruples, from &rood-
are at its sittings. I therefore very cheerfully resign not
only my place among its vice.prasidents, but that further
confirm with the congress as an official member al its
committer, which I accepted reluctantly, and only after
repeated insistence that I should do so. I trust that three
who so honoured me with their confidante, end would. I
have no doubt, have accorded me their support if I had de-
cided otherwise than I haws, will excuse my taking a steep
which has been dictated spiel by the desire not to allow
the to be ant by an imputation and COD.
Unties Whichw might in any degree have marred its useful-
sees.
"I must, however, add my earnest request that the step
sow take shall not be construed into the slightest admit•
sion on my part of the validity of the archdeacon's scruolet•
or of hesitatiom if seed were, to vindicate my conduc:
the matter to which he adverts.

" Behove me, my door lord, very taithlally yours.
