Canonry of Worcester has become vacant owing to death
of Canon Lacey. It is now my duty to submit to His
Majesty the name of successor and after most careful
consideration have come to conclusion that cannot better
serve the interests of Church than by offering to you
succession of this Canonry upon resignation of your present See which I understand you contemplate. The Bishop and
Dean authorise me to say that installation could, if
necessary, be deferred until early summer, provided that
the announcement of your appointment is made without
serious delay.
On hearing from you that you would be
willing to accept this offer shall be happy to submit your
name to the King.
Until His Majesty's approval has been
obtained have to ask that you will treat offer as confidential.
