Mr Gill went early this afternoon to his church at LaurenceEditorial Note: Lawrence, Massachusetts, of which you tried so hard to rob him & to destroy. Because you "loved it so much," that you said it "was a sin to belong to it." So he has not seen the false malicious silly document which your tool, Linfield has just sent this evening. I suppose you thought it would be a refinement of cruelty to send it just before sunday, so as to disturb his Sabbath As Written: Sabbeth work. But your poor foolish old woman, you would have made a mistake, for he is above being troubled by such contemptibleAs Written:contemptable falsehoodsAs Written:falshoods, from such a contemptibleAs Written:contemptable sourceAs Written:scource.

Mr Gill sent in his withdrawal As Written: withdrawel from your Jesuit Club' nearly two weeks ago, (his "petition"!!) RidiculousAs Written:Reediculous. Not that he cared what your dupes and slaves would do, but to take away all excuse from you, being assured that nothing would make you do right.

I feel disgraced, it is true, deeply so, but not from your spiteful action on monday which is as weak and impotent as foolish,- But because we ever had any connection with Mrs Glover Patterson Eddy. It will take some time to remove that stain from my mind. I know what you would do if you could! Witness Spofford and Kennedy & many others. But we defy you.

I do not wonder you want a God who "knows no evil." But you will find that He knows your evil, and that before As Written: befor long you will find. Poor woman. I pity As Written: pitty you, tottering so near your grave, and yet so full of malice. God forgive you.

""With what measure you mete it shall) be measured to you againMatt 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. Matt 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. "")

"Cunning overreachesAs Written:over reaches no one so much as itself"
