Herstmonceux - JCH has been forced to defend Christian C. Bunsen against an attack from Edward B. Pusey: 'Pusey's letter may disturb and prejudice many, who may never fall in with the British Magazine'. If WW falls in with anyone siding with Pusey he should give them one of JCH's privately printed refutations: 'It was a most difficult and painful letter to write, from the temptation to transgress both on the side of praise and of blame, and from the necessity of touching upon the question of inspiration. But I have done this as delicately as I could; and what I have said is no less necessary for the establishment of scientific than historical truth'. JCH 'was very glad to receive the expression of your cordial agreement with so many of the opinions maintained in my big volume of notes. The note on Luther, it was quite a happiness to be allowed to write; and I trust it will do its work'.
