Letters and despatches from individuals, with whom I have no acquaintance, and of whom I have no knowledge whatever, containing questions about secular affairs I do not answer. First, because I have not sufficient time to waste on them—and second, because I do not suppose myself capable of instructing people in what I know nothing about. All such questions are superinduced by wrong motives—or by "evil suggestions"—either of which I do not entertain.
Pleasant View, Concord, N. H., January 22, 1902.
