Scope and Content

Correspondence with F.W. Kershaw, clergyman, relating to the decision of Kershaw and a group of fellow priests to cancel their subscriptions to the Manchester Guardian, owing to a perceived bias against the catholic church, with reference to coverage in the paper of the Roman Catholic League [and the suggestion that it may have a political bias?]. Also included is a list of the priests intending to boycott the paper, and a request that their letter of protest be published, which is declined.
