    Dear Mrs. Kingsley,

        . . . I am apparently assuming the position of one who (like the Pope) makes an ALLOCUTION to all who will listen. Each of us may imitate him. I have given away eighty copies to make my allocution known. I suppose I ought to have sent one to you, but circulation is hard work. Alas, it costs a shilling! Can you get it put into any Manchester Library? (Trubner my publisher.) It is called A Christian Commonwealth, and is as much against our unjust wars as a Quaker could desire.

In haste, ever yours,        
F. W. Newman    

        Kind regards to all yours.
