Spurgeon (Charles Haddon)

Group of five autograph letters signed ('C.H. Spurgeon') to various recipients, one reading "Does the church in the Masonic Hall propose to take over the land from me and my brother? Money was advanced by me on the condition that the ground was transferred to our names. It seems to me that the first step should be to submit to me a list of gentlemen willing to become trustees, to whom we might transfer the land. Then they could proceed to build, and I would transfer the Building shares", two pages, 4to, 7 July 1885; three days later Spurgeon writes "I am glad to see you are doing as I suggest; but I was not aware of what had been done; no one having communicated with me", one page, 4to, 10 July 1885. In a later letter to Mr Hudson Taylor Spurgeon writes "Mr Thomas Eyres has been very useful as an evangelist to children. I have aided in his support for some time, and I have recorded abundant testimony as to his usefulness. He offers himself for China and I think you may safely accept him. His spirit and stone have been excellent so long as I have known him", two pages, 4to, 27 August 1887 (5)
