I am here, John.
I have been listening to your conversation tonight and was interested in some things that were said as to the inferiority of woman to man, and will soon come and write you a message on this subject; for the conceptions of your friends antagonistic to the equality of the sexes are all wrong, and they must learn that women, in the totality, are not only the equal of man, but in certain senses are their superiors.
It is too late tonight to write on the subject, and I will postpone the writing until a time later.
Your brother in Christ,
John.
