March 1874
In my sketch
Father was telling us of a letter he got sometime ago from a young man who belonged to a Debating Society, where my Father's views were going to come up. - He wrote to say that he wished to speak on the subject, but that he was a young man very busy & had not time to read them Father's books. Would he kindly send him an account of his opinions: Father actually answered the letter shortly eno' but civilly.
