Scope and Contents

So far as regards the College Fordham , Hughes gave Bayley his general ideas. He advises Bayley to keep his bills collected as they become due, Bayley's wants will be his apology and he should allow no bill to fall into arrears that can be collected with law. John Harley is, Hughes thinks, not worse. He cannot say Harley is much better. Hughes is well pleased with the progress of his views on this side, so far. The Oxford Movement is progressing still and Hughes has been told in private of several distinguished individuals, clerical and lay, who are on the verge of change. Hughes has not seen any of the distinguished converts as yet, on his return he hopes to see the little college of them at Oscott. Poor Edward Bouverie Pusey ! He is heart-broken for the loss of John Henry Newman and particularly for John Brande Morris . Pusey's niece also has joined the Church and is a Sister of Mercy in Birmingham. Pusey came there and wept all day with her. The Catholics are praying for Pusey by name everywhere. Pusey is building a church at his own expense. Augustus Welby Pugin is the architect. Hughes will go to France in a few days. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 3pp. 16mo.
