Holograph, signed.
Amos Augustus Phelps acknowledges the receipt of the attested copy of his letter to Deacon John F. Emerson. Phelps says: "As your charges of a 'treacherous betrayal' of trust are unfounded I see no occasion for repentance." In the postscript, Amos A. Phelps says that Mr. [Joseph H.?] Towne does not act with the new organization.
