I should certainly be sorry if the story
of your Father's life were to be so meager
in its earlier part as to make him appear
to the future historian as more of a soldi-
ier than a Bishop.

As I wrote to you recently, I shall
at once set about a chapter on the ec-
clesiastical events connected with
Secession. That will not take long.
The chapter on the taking up of arms
etc. will be more difficult and will
take more time.

I shall await your opinion of
what I have done with some anxiety, and
I continue to be anxious about the first
part of the work.

I am my dear doctor,

Yours very Truly,
John Fulton

Dr. W.M. Polk
