Pièce 150 - Letter from Julius Charles Hare

Herstmonceux - WW's letter was such a comfort to JCH at a time when he thought he was alone - 'It made me feel sure I was right' [presumably over the Renn D. Hampden affair. See JCH to WW, 20 Dec. 1847]. JCH has subsequently 'had the satisfaction of finding that almost all the competent judges agreed with us' [see also JCH's A Letter to the Dean of Chichester, on the Agitation Excited by the Appointment of Dr. Hampden to the See of Hereford, 1848]. JCH has heard that WW has been in numerous places this winter. Ma-man has been very ill since she returned to Exeter. Esther Hare thanks WW for his volume of sermons [Butler's Three Sermons on Human Nature, 1848]: 'I am glad you have publisht them, & very glad the young men have such solid substantial intellectual food along with their spiritual food'. What impression did the memoir of Sterling [John Sterling] make on Cambridge?
