Dear Rashdall,

I am reading your sermons with great interest - Plato to the contrary. I prefer the written to the spoken word. I congratulate you thereon. They are too catholic for the limited Protestant; too rational for the Ritualist; too liberal for both, & too dogmatic for the Broad man. . . . .

You have indicated your orthodoxy, but show a perilous(?) knowledge of heresies. In short, you will please no party, but satisfy the unprejudiced man - to wit myself. . .
.

Yours ever sincerely,

H B Leigh
