My dear Student

I left it for you to decide on speaking what you desired to Rev Mr. Day But dear one I have sometimes thought that I do wrong to not say what I think regarding such things and so write it now

I believe in never ventilating As Written: ventillating error unless duty demands.

I would let the dead be buried As Written: burried out of sight. I do believe we are better for doing this on all things like the one in question. I have never laid up the slightest offence or feeling of being wounded As Written: wouded at such trifles.

Brother Day or Brother Adams have a perfect right to their opinions and to express them the same as we all have. I love them and feel interested in all that benefits them, and helps on heavenward. Now darling let us love all, and forget the things that are behind and press forward to the prizePhil 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, Phil 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Most tenderly Yours
