Letter from William Bodham Donne, Norwich, to Frederick Walpole Keppel, 1841 February 22 : autograph manuscript signed.

Noting that they have returned from Mattishall, where they had gone "after losing our little girl", promising to wait upon "Dr. Kaye" when he is in London, and urging Keppel to visit them in Norwich; discussing his views on the education of the poor, who, in his opinion, "have just the same faculties, and may be trained in the same manner as those who have higher privileges of education"; recommending that Keppel read a pamphlet recently published by the Protestant Association in Norwich (concerning correspondence between Edward Stanley, the Bishop of Norwich, and the Secretary and Committee of the Norfolk and Norwich Protestant Association), and observing that one may learn, among others things, that the secretary, Mr. Ker is not a gentleman, that "when two priests assail one another, honest men had better stand apart, for fear of being bespattered", and that the Bishop (Edward Stanley) "is unfortunately for himself both a gentleman and a Christian."
