“Dear Brother,
I find that I have the 'Posthumous Tracts.' Have read them with great pleasure. Certainly the “Animal Spirits” of the P.T. is not identical with the Spirituous Fluid of the 'Economy.'

Things are generally only so serious as we make them- It seems too bad that a question like vaccination should divide us, or even appear to...
