The Founders of Canterbury

London Bridge Station, Wednesday, 3rd October, 1849

London Bridge Station, Wednesday, 3rd October, 1849.

My Dear Godley,

—Short of time—on the way to Gravesend to take leave of emigrants by Berkshire, I can only page 116return Goulburn's letter with one remark. Wynter is obeying the calls of duty—duty to his wife and her family: and he would obey the calls of a higher duty if they were addrcssed to him by a superior in the Church as S. Oxon. could do it. I am sure that he would be delighted at a pressure that would enable him to overcome the Lyalls.

With respect to yourself, you will be getting ready for departure somewhere; so ready as to be able to take which direction you please at the end of the month. Don't go into November, but throw over everything rather than forego a cure, which is certain if you can get rest and good air in time.

I was very much pleased with McGreachy, a kind, sensible, and decided man, with, I imagine, a very good judgement: and with an expression of features speaking his character.
