The Founders of Canterbury

Reigate, 3rd March, 1850

Reigate, 3rd March, 1850.

My Dear Wynter,

—Pray understand that I only wrote the enclosed as a note of the sort of thing that needs to be done to-morrow.

P.S.—I have been thinking for some days that it would not be difficult for the Association, by means of the Bishop of Oxford for Windsor, and the Bishop of Norwich for the Premier (who would have to assent, I imagine) to induce Prince Albert to preside at a meeting of the Association held for the purpose of making known the objects and plan of the Canterbury Settlement. Why not? H.R.H. has taken the page 226prominent part on many occasions (such as the Niger Expedition and the Philanthropic Farm School) far less worthy of his patronage than this measure for extending the Queen's dominions.

If he could go to the opening of the Coal Exchange, this Elizabethan enterprise surely might attract him.
