A.L.S., dated 1851, in Kidd's hand tipped-in to recto of FFEP: 'My dear Burgon, Exceedingly gratified by your request of yesterday, I answer it by begging your acceptance of the accompanying little book; on which I have been accustomed to set a perhaps fanciful value, under the impression that the autograph at the top of the title-page may be that of a descendant of ABp. Cranmer. However that may be, you have given me reason to believe you will set some value on it as containing also the autograph of your most sincere friend, J. Kidd'.
