Three sets of appeals from the National Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church to the Rev. Dr. French and fellows of Jesus College.
First appeal:
Document 1:
31st October. Letter from Mr. Kennedy, secretary, to the Rev. Dr. French stating that the Committee has resolved at this time, which is a critical period in the work of Education, to put forth a Renewed Appeal for funds to carry on the work of the Society. Before making the Appeal generally public, the Committee have considered that a communication is due first to those friends of the Society who by their previous liberality and kindness have materially benefited the cause of Church Education. The Committee also feel it to be of great importance to have obtained the names of influential persons before the accompanying appeal and papers are published. They earnestly hope therefore that they may be favoured with the benefit of your valuable influence and support on this occasion.
