Title: Autograph Letter Signed by Henry Luke Paget As the Bishop of Stepney.
Description: London, October 14th, 1912. 1912. - Over 50 words penned on both sides of 6-3/4 inch high by 4-1/2 inch wide creamy white paper with the address "26 Clapton Common, London, N.E." embossed in blind at top right. Paget expresses his regrets that he can't attend Miss Barran's music festival "It seems as though the fates continue to rob me of the pleasure of being at your Musical Festival", explaining that he is scheduled to preach for the East London Church Fund and must leave that Saturday evening. Signed "H.L. Stepney" [Henry Luke Stepney] as Bishop of Stepney. Folded for mailing with paper and glue remnants adhering to the top edge of the second page, none of which affects the text. Very good.
