The Founders of Canterbury

J. W. Parker, Esq. Reigate, 20th January, 1850

J. W. Parker, Esq. Reigate, 20th January, 1850.

My Dear Sir,

—The publication relating to Canterbury, which I mentioned to you, must needs go to press immediately. It is a sort of Tracts or Papers, to be published occasionally, with as much matter in each number as 10 or 12 pages of the Spectator; to sell for 6d. without a stamp. It would have all the patronage of the Canterbury colonizers; and the sale of a good many copies would be guaranteed. The matter would be supplied gratuitously, by competent hands. But I cannot properly explain by letter; nor am I well enough to go to town: and yet it is insisted on that the first number (of which all the matter is ready) shall appear next Saturday. So I must beg of you to talk to your father immediately, and, unless he reject the idea, then to come on me without delay.

P.S.—I want, besides, to show you a little Tract on "Church Colonization" by a clergyman of mark, which needs a publisher.
