Title	Letter from John Philip Gell to his wife Eleanor Isabella Gell, on attending meetings of clergymen in Sussex
Date	27 Sep 1851
Description	He is unable to return home for Monday when Lady Franklin may visit so he hopes that Frederick [his brother] will be able to support Eleanor instead. He talks about his morning ahead and how he enjoys the quiet there. He is staying with the Clarkes. They had a meeting at Storrington the previous day with Bradford, previously the chaplain at Vienna, in the chair. Lady Delazouch and the Curzons attended; news from Mr Curzon of the Emperor of China's conversion being reported in the Morning Herald. He also mentions a circular that he has seen in every parsonage he has visited begging the clergy to ask the Bishop of Chichester to disown the Archbishop’s letter Gawthorne, and Gell asks them all whether they mean to put their hand to "such superfluous nonsense". He attended a meeting at Brighton and gave an anti-Roman [Catholic] speech.
