Dear Sir
I have been requested to write you on behalf of the “Twelve” who are just on the eve of their departure for England, and inform you, that “this thing” which you have thought proper to write as a revelation to “The Church in and the branches round about” to which you yourself ministered has already “come to the knowledge of the Churches” both here and elsewhere, and lest you should have any doubt concerning of the fact, we send you a copy of your revelation to that church.
I am sir with all due respect— Yours truly.

In my own behalf I wish to state— that I sincerely wish, that it may soon come to pass that you sir and all our friends at , may percieve that you are walking “in the light of a fire & sparks that you have yourselves kindled; and that you may turn round, and fear the Lord, Obey the voice of his Servant and thereby escape the sentence “Ye shall lie down in sorrow.”
