My dear Lord,-1 am obliged for your courtesy in informing me of your intention to dissociate yourself from my action in the matter of the marriage of Sir William Davison on the ground that the action had not your sanction.
It had not occurred to me that what the law sanctions requires the further sanction of a bishop.

My chief regrel, however, is that the officials of the Church of England should show no sym- pathy with the demand for higher conception of marriage, but should yield to the clamour of those who think that the eur rent Catholic view is consistent with the Christian, where as it

It will be distasteful to me to
be compelled to express in public my inability to accept your judgment in this matter.
