haps I should trouble her no farther; but no promises.

I regret that she missed of attending U. Clark's meeting
how did he happen to be there so from home for one meeting
only? Did you send for him? Remember me to Phebe & family.

Like thee I compare the Banner of Light with Newton's paper
greatly in favor of the latter; but he has lost all his property by
his endeavors to keep a good paper going, and we can have his
services no longer. This is owing to the great varity and inde-

I saw many Nos. of the Telegraph last summer, liked parts of it much
but not so great a share of it, being filled with Beecher's and Cha-
pin's Sermons. I see by Her. of Progres No 2. that there is a pros-

Thou alludes to T. L. Harris; but hast probably seen in the
Tribune, what Wm. Howitt says of his lecture; and perhaps art judg-
ing with me that it is all designed as a curse on what the Ortho-
dox call [deleted] Anti-christian Spiritualism, and a monopoly of
credit to those who rely on the atonement by Jesus Christ and
on the scriptures, the observances of the sabbath, &c. &c. I was hard-
ly surprised by the substance of his discourse for my confidence in
him has never been great. He is doubtless a great orator, and
may have affected much humility but when he set out for Europe
I thought his plan was to reserve Eng. from true Spiritualism.
