Mrs. HoOker's letter. which / enclose is no
fuller of good viii toward you than your up
RICHNESS and singleness Of mind merit.
But think the advice which she gives con-
corning your non-acceptance of the commit
teeship, like Mrs. Davis advice concerning
your positive withdrawal, is not so good as
the suggestion with which | hereby replace
both, namely, that you abide in your lot,
neither wavering nor changeful, but like the
apostle who said, Having done all, still TO
nave no patience with any other
policy than justice and courage. i counsel
you against any appearance of surrendering
TO the apprehensions OF timid friends. But,
then, am not a woman, and perhaps my
advice is made of too stern stuff.
You settled everything last evening but
the biography. Is it to go on or to stop!
And will you see Mr.. Beecher this evening,
as arranged? Yours ever, TT.
