The Henson Journals

Easter Eve, March 26th, 1921.

I finished the sermon for the Marvell Tercentenary. The expenditure of time in its preparation has been excessive, but I have found some compensation in acquiring a better acquaintance with Marvell's writings.

In the afternoon I inspected Bishop Cosin's desk., which is preserved with the heirlooms, and found in it several letters of interest about some of my predecessors, addressed to Bishop Westcott.

I wrote to the Mayor of Sunderland, Aglionby, Gamble, Fawkes, & Arthur.
