For those wishing to know: Rev. Charles John Vaughan was headmaster of 
Harrow School, England (famous public school).  Around 1849 the Sunday 
observance groups tried to get all clergy to sign a remonstrance against 
the London Post Office changing their existing Sunday working to reduce 
the number of their staff in the country who had to work on Sundays. 
Vaughan explains here why he wouldn't sign it.  All quite reasonable, but 
the groups insisted no work at all and opposed the change.

All the best,
David
