1876 Letter to William Gladstone

by Sabine Baring-Gould

Excuse a line to express the depth of gratitude I feel for your letter, pamphlet and speech on the Eastern Question. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks and after Lord Beaconsfield’s outrage at Aylesbury I cannot contain myself from expressing my feelings.

I enclose some lines on the question somewhat too stinging for publication but true.
