Gentlemen,
In reply to your letter containing the wish of the Bible-Christian Congregation, I have merely to say that if the views of my address are deemed of sufficient importance to be made public by the Congregation, it is at their disposal. The Address was written amid many and pressing duties of a different character, and I only regret it is not more worthy of the good opinion of the Bible-Christian Church and of the subject on which it treats.
Yours Truly in the Lord,
To James Wright, &,c. Committee.
