There is always a difficulty and misunderstanding in whatever you participate. When things are smooth you disturb them and when rough you make them harder to handle. I have again and again rebuked you for this and you have confessed, and I well know that it all lies in your habit of telling or implying that which is untrue. You give me as the authority for your articles on "Identity" being the leader in the Journal, when I had refused As Written: refured to correct it and returned it to you declining to push it forward. I had just got through with one contest on that score and said I should not undertake another.

I have been a friend to you in need but because of this I shall not suffer you to commit and recommit the offense As Written: offence of interfering with my business or using my name as authority to that to which I would not give it, and unless you stop this unchristian conduct you will oblige me to bring your cases of constant quarrels before the C. S. A. and the Church of which I made you a member with the earnest prayer for your reform.
