From Charles Simeon 19 May 1835

Mr Simeon presents his compliments to Professor Henslow, never for a moment contemplated there becoming an annual subscriber to that society. He aided it here on that occasion with 5£ to entertain the guests, & 1£ to pay any contingent expenses & my ticket of entree but never intended to be an annual Contributor. He desires therefore that his name may be erased. His Calls for Charity are too numerous to be encroached on by annual demands of any kind & therefore, even when applied to, he almost invariably declines them so limiting of his small resources.
