From Charles Voysey 7 April 1873
Camden House | Dulwich S.E
April 7. 1873
My dear Sir
I can hardly hold my pen for laughter over a lovely “Neo-Athanasian Creed” which my eldest daughter has just copied out for your amusement.1 I know not who wrote it, and only hope I may be the first to have the privilige of sending it to you.—
I take this opportunity also of asking your kind acceptance of my 6th. Vol: just published.2
By the side of the works of the Giants of Science, it looks small indeed; but if it be an effort to teach babes the A.B.C. & multiplication Table of Religious Verities, it will not be altogether despised by yourself.—
As I fear your health is none of the best, let me beg you not to take any notice of my letter, beyond a Post Card to say the book has reached you
I am Dear Sir | very sincerely yrs. | Charles Voysey
