Parry offers a lengthy explanation for the delay in replying to his correspondent's letter of the 7th May, and continues 'I need not say with what deep interest we have regarded the proceedings of your Association, which we should willingly initiate if it were in our power. But the members of our little body are almost all so busily occupied in their respective duties, as to have little or no leisure for originating measures, which, nevertheless, they would gladly see carried out. Our rule therefore, has been, and, I fear, must continue to be only to follow the suggestions of the Parent Committee in London, and to adopt, so far as we are able, what they recommend'. Parry further states 'Our attention, and doubtless yours also, has lately been drawn to the formation of the “Protestant Alliance”, in which, as it seems to me, the “Protestant Defence Committee” is likely to merge; if, indeed, the members of the latter will all agree to the admission of dissenters into their body - which, however, they, perhaps may not. I am sure it is a time in which all sound & faithful Protestants ought to unite against the common enemy, and I trust they heartily will' and concludes 'The alteration of the Liturgy is a subject which, I must confess, I know not how to approach with any hope of success. I could wish some passages altered; but how can it be effected by agreement among those who differ so widely? It is, I think….a scriptural complication as it is, if such men as the Bp. of Exeter would not throw firebrands among us….' Some light traces of former mounting to the left edge of the first page, only very slightly affecting a few words of text. Together with a small selection of signed clipped pieces by various other Arctic and Polar Explorers comprising John Franklin, John Ross, Richard Byrd and Edward R. G. R. Evans. Neatly laid down (2).
