description Encloses letter he received yesterday of which the second part might be of interest to him in his biography of Dr Coke. Written to Mr Hockling suggesting he should send it [sermon] to you. Thanks him for his missionary work and in particularly 'Still He Calls'. Enclosed letter (8 Aug [19]27) from Hocking to Barratt which has first few lines crossed out (apologising for creating extra work). Mentions that Barratt lives in a house called Coke Villa and that he has in his possession a sermon dating from the time his father would have been minister in South Petherton [Somerset] or Kilkhampton [Cornwall] in 1862. Sermon preached by Dr Coke when at South Petherton [Somerset] and found in an unclaimed package in a carriers warehouse a great number of years ago. Text of sermon is Matthew 7.24 and is signed Thomas Coke. Thinking of giving it to the [Wesleyan Methodist] Missionary Society.
