The next letter from our late Most Reverend Primate is the same as that immediately preceding, with the exception of the address, which is as follows:
"To His Holiness the Patriarch and other Prelates of the independent churches of Coordistan, William, by Divine Providence, Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of all England, and Metropolitan, greeting in the Lord."
The next is from the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of London.
"To the Most Reverend Father, His Holiness Mar Shimoon, Patriarch of the Church of Christ in Coordistan, in the name of Jesus Christ, (He is Lord of all,) health and peace.
By these letters we commend to your Holiness our beloved son in the Lord, George Percy Badger, a priest of the ancient apostolic Church of England, wherein I am an unworthy Bishop, entreating you to receive him with fatherly love and kindness, of which he is deserving. He will make known to your Holiness the present state of our Church; and our desire to act in the spirit of Christian friendship and goodwill towards the Church over which the Divine Providence has placed you. And we have directed him to report to us concerning your welfare, and the present condition of the ancient Church in Coordistan.
"We pray that Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, may have you in His holy keeping, and protect the Church committed to your care.
"Your Holiness's humble servant,
"And brother in Christ,
"C. J. London.
