Why the Letter Was DESTROYED.

Why did destroy the letter? First, am
a busy man, in receipt of an immense cor
respondence, and destroy very many letters,
especially at General Assemblies. To sort
and file all my letters would keep clerk
busy continuously. Second, the importance
of the letter has been exaggerated The
letter was written by a friend, who was
neither director nor trustee in the Allegheny
Seminary, and it was not proifer of or call
to II prOiessorship, but simply II sounding"
letter, to ascertain whether the recipient
would be favOrably disposed to q CALL
Third, inasmuch as I received no further
communication at Minneapolis from Dr.
Robinson, and had decided either to accept
the pastorate of the Fourth Church, Albany,
n. Y, or professorship in Lane Seminary,
did not place any special value upon the
letter.
Such is the history of the case. I dis
missed the matter from my mind in June,
1856, as settled, and it was not until the win
ter of that year and the spring of 1881 that
discovered that the letter was being talked
about to my detriment.
