To Thomas Martin 11 September 1859

My dear Sir,

Having taken my usual course of addressing my Parish in print I send you the enclosed– I liked the pamphlet & Lesson you sent very much & stitched them up with 2 of the Nos. of the Cottage Gardener which I circulate among a few of my reading parishioners – of which there are not many below Farmers – & even some of these do not know their letters – I wish I had authority enough (like your Clerical acquaintance) to make some of them ashamed of doing wrong – but I do think we have improved – I have an omnibus to send for old folks on a Sunday, but often send my man with our luggage cart for invalids & aged on Sacrament Sunday,

Yours truly

J. Henslow
