Reading Experience:

Evidence:

‘Owen Lloyd has lent me an essay on Faith by my Father transcribed by poor Charles Lloyd. It will probably make a good addition to your forthcoming volumes. I will transcribe it tomorrow ... I will also send you some marginal notes from the Andersons, though you will probably see the propriety of not publishing the whole of one of them, as it contains opinions and certainly expressions which my father would not latterly have approved.’
