Add to basket3pp, 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'.

I shall always be very glad to help you in any way I can, however. You were most kind to us on Saturday and my friends and myself saw Canterbury from a new point of view. I do hope that we did not inconvenience you and that your family have forgiven me.", with an autograph note signed by the recipient "The letter was written by him to me after I showed him and Lord Thompson our Cathedral Library June 23 1928, & he is a little mixed in his ecclesiastical titles.", 1 side 4to., House of Commons headed paper, 26th. June In 1911 MacDonald became "Chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party", the leader of the party.
