Arnold, Matthew, 1875
Scope and Contents
Letter: Cobham, to Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, 1815-1881
ALS. Writes to the Dean of Westminster Abbey an account of his meeting with Cardinal Newman. "Newman stood in costume . . . supported by a chaplain and by the Duke of Norfolk. Devotees, chiefly women, kept pressing up to him." He was introduced by Lady Portsmouth: "I made the most deferential of bows, he took my hand in both of his and held it . . . nothing of any interest passed, but I was glad to have spoken to him . . . The sentiment of him, of his sermons . . . filled Oxford . . . it suited the place, and I . . . shall always be glad, to have been there at that moment and grateful to Newman for the atmosphere of feeling he then created for me."
