"Holograph. The signature, as well as the letterhead, have been cut out of this manuscript. The author of this letter is unknown. There is a fervent plea for fidelity to Christian doctrine. The author of the letter says: \"Those orthodox idlers found their desertion of this Christian work [emancipation] on your being not only heretics but very busy in pushing this awful theme into the emancipation cause & making such confusion that they could not act with -- is it you, or them?\" Refers especially to Lucretia Mott, whom the writer heard when she \"bade defiance to the doctrine of atonement & called it a gross & brutal & cruel scheme or story...\""
