From W. R. Browne   21 December 1880

Dear Sir,

I regret to learn that your health will in any case prevent your attending the proposed Conference at Lambeth: but to prevent your having any misconception as to its objects, I venture to enclose a proof of the Proceeding as at present sketched out.¹ I know the Abp² is anxious to obtain expressions of opinion, even from those who do not see the desirability of holding such a meeting; & that he w^d particularly value such an expression from you. I am sure therefore he w^d be obliged if, in returning the paper, you could kindly make any remarks either on particular points, or on the subject in general.

Yours truly | Walter R Browne
