Old Palace, Lincoln, February 12, 1901. It is very sad. I hope to write a letter to you all shortly; but it can only be by slow degrees, and the gradual raising of public opinion that we can hope for improvement. I think you acted quite rightly in burying, and entering the names of the poor children. The question of marriage is more difficult: --(1) Being so young, they may hardly know their own minds, or whether there is fair probability that their characters would suit one another. If there seems to be fair prospect of their suiting one another--as from stations of life, dispositions, etc., and as far as you can tell a real attachment beyond mere passing animal passion--if they show any penitence, and willingness to wait and suffer for their sin, then I should incline to their marrying. If there is none of this, but rather bitterness and mutual recrimination, I should not advise marriage, but leave them alone (except so far as trying to bring them to repentance). (2) Where they should be married is also difficult. I think it depends chiefly on the effect on others in the parish. If we could use full discipline and feel sure of their penitence, after confession and absolution, they might (after a year, say) be admitted to Holy Communion, and then be married in church (the difference between the first and second Epistle to the Corinthians is less than a year, I believe). Short of this, I think it must turn (i) on their own penitence; (2) on the effect on the parish.
