Summary
Thanking him for his recent letter and the "frankness with which you have expressed your views in relation to our unfortunate conversation at N. Haven....It is no time to nourish alienations among Churchmen....I have reason to believe that the recent attack on the College, which I suppose you have seen, is but the commencement of a general warfare against the Church;" encouraging his efforts with a magazine; discussing details of scheduling a Confirmation.
