Mr. Arthur P. Taylor.

My Dear Arthur, — I need not say that I am very interested in your letters to Jim and myself.

I also received a copy this morning of Mr. I———’s letter of the 21st inst. to Mr. H——— in which reference — in P.S. — is made to the conversation with you on Saturday.

The matter has become more acute by your visit and your statement to Mr. H——— that you could not break bread with him or any who support him. In saying so much to him you somewhat exposed yourself without gaining any advantage. Still the attitude taken at Cincinnati removes the danger of precipitating a crisis.

I believe full opportunity should be given to all in Columbus to acquire an ‘assembly conscience’. What you said to them on Saturday will help in this and I am thinking of sending Mr. I——— a line to say that the so-called assembly judgment has changed the position in its general bearing.

There was a good season at Flatbush yesterday morning — Jim and family, Archie and family and you were absent. We went to Westfield for reading and preaching — much cheer.

Affectionately,
Father.
