Beloved Student:

You may think I am changeable for such are the appearances. But circumstances point to a change at our next election of the general manager of the Mother church Publication ComEditorial Note: Committee on Publication.

Mr. Farlow is a smart busineesmanAs Written:business man and a lovely character but he has not the education and literary taste requisite for this responsible office. My next choice will be yourself Meantime be making your plans for this but do not do so at your own detriment. I shrink from the necessity of removing anyoneAs Written:any one from office. But he does startle me at times with a terrible lack of judgement in his movements. I want an officer of the Mother church wise and educated sufficiently to fill his place without my having to look after him in any wise But this has not been always my good fortune

Mrs. Stetson manages her students not as I do students and to herself I thunder the law and gospel on this subject but it must not be made public lest the unity of our churchesAs Written:churchs be broken and thus our prestige and power in the right direction be hindered. Give my love to your wife

As ever faithfully
Yours in Christ
