Abstract
W.S. Tyler letter to Justin Perkins in which Tyler explains his delay in responding due to working on "Representative Cities" in Hours at Home and his double duties at the College as Professor of Greek and Walker Instructor in Latin in the stead of his son Henry. He writes about Henry and these duties. He mentions another son (John), who is at the Grande Ligne mission, and Madame Feller. Tyler thanks Perkins' for the responses to his interpretations of the "hard passage" about "the angels" and of "women speaking in meeting." He expresses his views on the latter topic and on the "alarming tendency in our age & country to efface the natural and desirable boundaries between the two sexes." He discusses Perkins' commentary on Genesis and goes on to write regarding Amherst College, a new building in Amherst, and local churches. He says he is sending the (College) Catalogue and Dr. Boardman's address at the last anniversary of Mount Holyoke Seminary, which no longer accompany this letter.
