Letter

Scope and Content

From Henry Hancock at 40 Slades Road, St Austell, Cornwall, to Lewis Court.

He was very interested to read Court's letter in this week's Comish Guardian and has therefore enclosed a memoir of his great-grandmother who died in 1883. She and her husband were both Bible Christian local preachers and the society of which they were practically the founders, met in their cottage for about thirty years before a chapel was built.

He has also enclosed a copy a handbook issued in connection with a bazaar held on December 2nd 1926, which Court may find interesting.

Hancock himself has been a local preacher for over forty years and is currently serving as the secretary to the chapel trustees.

If Court does not want the memoir, he would be grateful if it could be returned as it is the only copy that he has.

Hancock is expecting to attend Conference as a Cornish delegate, and if Court is also intending to be present, would welcome the opportunity to meet for a chat.
