Incomplete letter

Scope and Content

From James Thorne at Millpleasant, Plymouth, to Mary O'Bryan.

Mary's letter and that of her father [William] of the 7th inst. arrived safely this morning. Thorne had intended to write to her and include the letter in the parcel of magazines, but as Mary has written so frankly to him, he changed his mind.

Spiritual matters are discussed in detail, together with the question of Mary's usefulness in the work and that of female preachers in general.
