Millerism is now at its highest pitch in Boston the last time is now set I think the 22nd of this month they have made such fuss that their has been talk of tearing down their Tabernacle but I hope the people will let them alone. I addess the Chuch in this place in planness upon the subject of politiks. Advised them to let it alone & not vote or mingle with it, for I suppose that will be the case ^course^ taken in Nauvoo.
