Paper. Condition: Good. First Edition. An Original Hand Written Letter and Signed by Thomas Hughes. C1882. Thomas Hughes writes on June 15 1882 to a London clergyman, Henry Shuttleworth: Dear Shuttleworth, I have been moving about for the last week so that yours of the 9th only reached me yesterday. Of course I shall be glad that the hymn should be printed and used in any way you please. I am doubtful whether I shall be able to be in town on the 28th and 29th, but will do my best to get to the meeting at Lord B's and Lambeth. I hope the Y.M.F.S. [Young Men's Friendly Society] flourishes. Yours ever Thomas Hughes. It's thought Shuttleworth wanted to re-print Hughes's hymn, O God of Truth, which he wrote around 1859 to a late 17th century refrain. It was originally put into a collection called Lays of the Sanctuary, which was published for charity. The letter is written in ink on the front page of off-white, four-leaf notepaper measuring 7"x 4½". It bears the letter-head of Macmillan, the London publishing house.
