The influential Church of England archdeacon converted to Catholicism in 1851, becoming Archbishop of Westminster in 1865, in which position he zealously promoted English Catholicism. Miniscule ALS, 1p, 3½" X 4½", London, England, 1864 October 12. Addressed to Mrs. Dickinson. Fine. At this time superior at the Oblatres of St. Charles in London, which he founded in 1857, Manning asks a favor: "Will your kindness take me to the London Bridge Station tomorrow -- unless my hour is too late for you. I wish to leave here at 5 o'clock. I hope you are well: & have good news." Quite handsome little piece.
