To The Very Reverend
Henry Edward Manning, D.D.,
Provost of Westminster,
Etc., Etc.
My Dear Dr. Manning,
On this day, when you are celebrating the opening of your new Church and Mission at Bayswater, I am led to hope, since I cannot give you my presence on so happy an occasion, that yon will accept from me this small Volume instead, as my act of devotion to the great St. Charles, St. Philip’s friend, and your Patron, and as some sort of memorial of the friendship which there has been between us for nearly thirty years.
I am, my dear Dr. Manning,
Ever yours affectionately,
John H. Newman,
of the Oratory.
In Fest. Visitat. B.M.V.
1857.
