Scope and Content:
"My Dear Sir, A year has gone by since you did me the favour of presiding when I read a paper before the members of the Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts and I am extremely anxious that you should fill the same part again on the 13th next month. My subject 'the seen & the unseen' will be more practical I trust than the title would seem to suggest that is to say I should endeavor to show how the student may be led by proper study from the Real to the Ideal thereby in creating the boundaries of this world making him find sermons in Stones & & & in which you will I believe thoroughly agree. For all human probability this will be the last I shall give & I do trust you will meet my wishes & excuse my saying your refined and graceful remarks were on the last occasion exceedingly gratifying to me and made an interesting evening of what would otherwise I fear have been but a tame & proxy affair. I shall tell you the papers are now printed to the hour so I trust you will bear the affliction and add this one more favour. So my Dear Sir, yours very sincerely, Henry Tidey."
