Letter from Towcester dated 22nd August 1840

to the Rev. Mr Little, St Sepulchre, Northampton

I have given publicity to your request of a grand morning concert by an assemblage of Foreigners to profess your sacred Edifice in their own native language without any interpretation of the same to the public of the intrinsic value of the object being duly supported by Foreigners. I should unhesitatingly ask you is any of them Roman Catholicks indeed what religion do they profess to possess. In these minutes .............. me I am not making any further observations to others than .....ing absence I have taken a ticket.

The interest which i am frequently advocated to give to y many institutions of our County & not least within your town - yet when I give my attendance at ye infirmary I am to meet with much miserable contempt upon riding 20 miles to its support that John Armytage is even appointed to inpercede an audition of y Institution & possess y chair

Some day there will be a warm explanation on that great importance of Duty thereto why he shd be y voice of the party & dispossess me of the HonorYrs very respectfully, Gilbert Flesher.
