was going to publish card about it that
evening; l told Moulton | had about
reached the end of my patience, and that
If Tilton wanted to publish a card he could
do so; was unduly excited for clergy

emphathic than prudent Moulton said he
could stop Ti.on from publishing a card
in the Eagle that night and l told him 10

that nothing would be done about the card
until Monday; 1 showed him a card of
resignation saying that this would be my
answer to Tilton's card If published

publication when made this proposition
of resignation intended to do so as sure
as the Lord lives the publication of that
