Scope and content
Asks her to send him his nightshirt, which he left at Lambeth. Declares that he is very impressed with Edward's judgment [in the trial of Edward King, bishop of Lincoln, on a charge of ritualism, and remarks that 'the Standard hints that [William] Stubbs dissents.' Asks if it is 'one of the things that may be known whether this is true or not, or how far'. Reports that the Central News Agency telegraphed that the Archbishop had decided for the Bishop of Lincoln's [contention], and claims that they believed it until the evening papers came.
