Excerpt from Correspondence Between His Grace the Duke of Argyll and the Right Rev. W. J. Trower, Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway It is with much reluctance and regret that I address your Grace on the matter which will form the subject of this letter viz., the fact that your Grace received the holy communion last year at Paisley, (in the diocese of Glasgow, ) and the possibility that your Grace may present yourself, either at Paisley or at some other church in my diocese, for the same purpose at the ensuing festival. I think it due to your Grace, and in every way the most prudent as well as manly course, to inform you, that having been consulted on this subject by the clergyman who administered the sacrament of the Lord's Supper to you last Christmas, I have informed him that I cannot sanction, under existing circumstances, a similar admission of your Grace to that holy communion. It is possible, indeed, that the occasion which he has contemplated as not improbable, may not present itself; but I had rather run the risk of over-caution in a matter of this kind, than that of either having the question raised at the very time of so solemn an act of devotion, or else of admitting to communion one, whose recent publication breathes throughout so bitter and contemptuous a spirit towards the church at whose hands he had so recently received the sacrament of our blessed Saviour's body and blood. Your Grace will, I trust, believe that it is most painful to me thus to bring myself before your notice nothing would induce me to do so but a sense of duty, and a resolution not to avoid any responsibility which fairly devolves upon me; and I the more regret the occasion.
