Résumé du livre

Letter, 27 Jan. 1872, Columbia, S.C., from Howe at Columbia Theological Seminary to [Charles Augustus Aiken, professor at Princeton Theological Seminary], discussing a plan for the future given the econmic hardships of life in S.C. during Reconstruction, and commending his inaugural discourse [published, 1872, as Inauguration of the Rev. Chas. Augustus Aiken, D.D., as Professor of Christian Ethics and Apologetics in Princeton Theological Seminary, November, 1871], "The distinction you made between the variable and the constant in our defensive argumentation is well taken" and approving "the division of labour in our older seminaries ... We must follow on at a distance and more slowly, especially in the deep pecuniary depression under which we are labouring in this greatly misgoverned portion of our land."
