I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.

The petition of persons under eighteen, praying that I would free all slave children, and the heading of which petition it appears you wrote, was handed me a few days since by Senator Sumner.
