[Cardinal Wiseman] Substantial Part of Autograph Letter Signed [to Charles Dolman], Catholic Bookseller/Publisher.

Four pages. 16mo bifoliate. In poor condition: grubby, creased, stained and worn. Traces of previous mounting along top of two central pages, and of stub along one edge, removal of which has caused a small hole (not affecting text). A letter to the publisher of his 'Essays on various subjects' (3 vols, 1853): ' sermons, I have "50 Heaven" "Means of salvation" being "49." | Either therefore our lists do not agree, or one of us has made a mistake. Please therefore to look back at my last letter, and see if I did not say I wished to have "44 Goodness of God | 50 Heaven | 51 Conclusion." | Now what is to be done with my 49 or your 50 - "Means of salvation? Either enlarge the volume by introducing 48 Salvation before The means of S. & 44 Goodness of God, or keep by 48 & 49. I have no objection to increase the vol. if you like: only I wish to get it out - so as to get Vol 3 forward. | Please let me have a line, & in the meantime I return proof. | Yours very sincerely &c | N. Card. Wiseman'.
