Summary
Hoping he has received the telegram saying "...what we do for you;" giving him the names of people who will attend meetings the following week and which day they will be there; mentioning two people who would be "...good as representing two classes of persons who have joined the League; those who think it absolutely the best course & those who think it a good compromise to including the Bible;" adding that he hopes he will not back out as "...I am not of much use in a public meeting."
