Scope and content
WW is sorry he has taken so long in replying to JHR's letter, and has dealt with his request concerning the manuscript in the library. WW does 'not think I can tell you anything very distinct with respect to the counsels which you have in common with Hare [Julius Hare]'. WW has read 'Bretschneider's book against you, and would have sent it you if I had not thought it likely to fail of reaching you. I did not think it very formidable for you, but I think one may feel some indulgence for those persons who never having looked on Christianity in the light in which we look upon it, do not feel, and cannot comprehend, the horror with which their views are received'. WW thanks HJR for his positive comments concerning his sermons: 'I seem to myself to have got a perception of one or two truths, which, if I can make other people also perceive, I am sure it will do them good'.
