Hartford, March 5 -
My Dear Graham:
I am so sorry my letter did not reach you before you had left home. I do not hesitate to say to you, confidentially, what I know of the Fourth Church. I do not know much.  Its membership on paper is over 400, in reality it is a little over 200.  It was a strong congregation, until Dr. Brutus withdrew from it, its wealthiest member & organized a new Church. It has had one or two unpeternate[?]  pastorates. New membership has fallen into a little fanaticism on temperance and chuch methods, i.e. some of them, not all.
