Knottingley. - Milnes' letter in reply to address [ie. HOUG/E/F/2/3] demonstrated true support for the Church in Britain.

Pontefract. - Milnes' letter in reply to the Vicar [Richard Stainforth: ie. HOUG/E/F/2/3] is well received; Russell was explaining his change of tone, “but the Roman Catholic Priest came in & of course the conversation dropped”.
