Notes
Bishop Lay simply dates the letter "Easter 1884."
Part of a 12-volume collection of Autographs and Manuscripts of Bishops of The Protestant Episcopal Church (MA 364-375). The arrangement of the collection is by Bishops in the order of their consecration and chronological within their portion of the collection. Letters in this collection have been described individually in separate catalog records; see collection-level record for more information.
The letter includes a postscript, in an unknown hand, as follows: "Having been promised a copy of the inscription on the piece of Communion plate given by Queen Anne to the Church at Church Creek, I have kept the manuscript more than a week--but to no purpose, so I wait no longer."
