Bartle Frere [ Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere ] (1815-1884), British colonial administrator, Governor of Bombay, High CommissioneBiblio.com

Bartle Frere Governor of Bombay. Autograph Letter Signed 'H B E Frere' to Harold Browne Bishop of Winchester regarding a future meeting of Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and 'episcopal supervision' of the Punjab and Burma.

16460On letterhead of the India Office Whitehall. 21 July 1876. 7pp. 12mo. In India Office envelope addressed by Frere to 'The Rt. Revd. The Lord Bishop of Winchester 17 Devonshire Place W.' In good condition on lightly-aged paper. In the event that he is unable to attend the meeting 'as I have an engagt. for 3 o'clock at Marlborough House' he asks the Bishop to 'mention - if you think proper - how entirely I agree with the view taken by Mr. Jacob & that I think £2000 to each Bishopric is the least wh. S.P.G. shd. offer.' In Frere's view 'the meeting will have the power of deciding whether efficient episcopal supervision shall be provided for those two great Provinces the Punjab & Burmah; or whether this shall be indefinitely postponed.' He explains regarding a plan on the matter put forward twenty years before by the Bishop of Exeter: 'The great Mutiny occurred & all action was postponed for 20 yrs.' The letter proceeds with a discussion of 'the kind of Bishop Ld. Salisbury proposes' with Frere dividing his analysis into four lettered sections with the first and shortest reading: 'a the exact kind of Bishop wh. Bishops Cotton & Milman contemplated'. Frere considers 'that what is described as a Missonary. Bishop must be more or less a class Bishop or a caste Bishop'. He concludes in the hope that 'S. P. G. will be true to its own old lines of principle & action & not in hunting after vain shadows lose the substantial advantage of the creation of two manageable sees'. On letterhead of the India Office [Whitehall]. 21 July 1876. unknown
