1890 C. H. SPURGEON. Fine 1p Framing Example on the Evils of the Confessional!

Fascinating letter by C. H. Spurgeon written in reply to a tract on the resurgence of the practice of the confessional among Anglicans. 

It is accompanied by a c.1890 photograph of Spurgeon, neatly mounted to an album leaf, some minor defects as shown on photograph. Still very attractive.

A fine framing pair.

Dear Sir,

Hearty thanks. You do a good & needful work when you expose the "Confessional". It is an evil which cannot be exaggerated. Your tract is trenchant & true.

Thanks for your kind words, also. They come when I am under a great sorrow. The Lord recompense you!

Yours heartily,
C. H. Spurgeon"
