3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, aged and rather creased. Folded twice. Signed 'William T. Manning.' Addressed to 'The Revd. Samuel Bickersteth D.D. | Canon of Canterbury'. Writing after his appointment as Bishop of New York, Manning begins by stating that Bickersteth must be aware of 'the pressure' that he has been under 'during the past weeks', and this is the reason why his 'kind letter' has not been answered sooner. The appointment 'is a tremendous responsibility but with God's help I shall do my best. [.] The Consecration is to take place on May 11th.' and he is sure the Bickersteths will offer their prayers for him on that day. It will be 'a great comfort and strength' to him to know that he is 'remembered in your great Cathedral, the centre of our whole Communion and of our Mother Church of England'.
