Title	Letter from John Philp Gell to his wife Eleanor Isabella Gell, during his stay in Dorset for meetings of clergymen
Date	23 Oct 1857
Description	He has proposed to Dr Newman that he should take the church as a licensed room and be content with the curate attached to St John’s. JPG would not interfere and not be involved in any future arrangement which did not provide some equivalent for the money it would cost for the opening of the church. He believes Sir E. Parry fraternized with Macguire a good deal at one time. He asks Eleanor to let Miss [?]Sandry see the Kensington Place district visiting book. He is concerned about the nursery with the frequent colds. He is unable to reply to all the children’s letters. He supposes Eleanor will put off Miss Crouch until after November. He could not remember his instructions to Eleanor but thinks they will still fit in. The sending back of the letters to Mr Hill arose from an omission of Scott’s. He has seen one housemaid and is uncertain about her. He hopes Maria may do even yet.
