Summary
Sending him proofs of a sermon; discussing an article in the Episcopal Recorder; noting that when things were published about him in the past, he "felt [him]self too unimportant to trouble the Church with any correction," but now that he is going to be a bishop, he wishes his "record" to be "clear"; describing himself as a "churchman from infancy"; providing details about his family's history with the Episcopal Church and his own religious upbringing.
