none more than myself; but what
astonished me was that you should
have presented, as my actual views
on PhrenOlogy, what gave to the
world many years before your birth!
How anomalous 1t would be for an

pseudo science, I have also rewritten

POSTSCRIPT:
AS further evidence OF this sin
cerity, and charity for all, l now
definitely offer to disclose to you,
In the space Of a single hour, the
mysteries of this vaunted Biogenetic
Evangel--coupled with an avalanche
Of proofs!
And, by way of stimulus, I will
guarantee the donation Of our first
available funds, to the amount OF
Ten Thousand Dollars, for the Chris
tian interests and bcncvolcnces now
In your charge.
Nof course, there are certain petty
business details and stipulations TO
be adjusted; but when a sense OF
Christian Stewardship dominates, there
can be little heckling over these.
oh, the precious ones that now 80
needlessly perish! @. B. >.
