Evans, S. T. (Samuel Thomas), 1859-1918

Rev. W. A. Edwards [Rector of Aberffraw] to Evans,

Encloses pamphlet The Welsh Church Question by Edwards. Asks Evans if he could help him find a position in the Church which would give him sufficient influence to support Disestablishment. Suggests that the Deanery to Lichfield is vacant and wonders whether the Welsh MPs and Evans could help him here. He could then help the cause of Disestablishment.

Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury to Evans,

Refers to the Places of Worship Enfranchisement Bill which Evans sent to him. Feels inadequate in understanding the technical side of the Bill but supports moves towards Disestablishment. Suggests that the Acquisition of Sites Bill would be more successful - sees difficulties otherwise over the question of leasing and land holding.
