Summary
Concerning his reply to Mr. [Horace] Binney and the possibility that an answer to his statement might be required; giving his travel schedule; saying that he is "deeply mortified at the course this rubric of Episcopal discipline has taken in our Church. I am continually reading letters from sound minded influential men saying that the Bishops are not aware of the effect of some of the proceedings [illegible] their orders has on the public mind & on the feelings, fears & doubts of some of the trusted friends of the Church, that they say but little. Brother Lee's pamphlet is about the best excuse given from the Camden affair [the trial of Bishop Doane] that could be offered, but it does not satisfy. Nothing can."
