Letter CCLXXXV.1 Without Address. The hearer of this letter is one on whom rests the care of our Church and the management of its property-our beloved son. Deign to grant him freedom of speech on those points that are referred to year holiness, and attention to the expression of his own views; so shall our Church at length recover herself, and henceforth be released from this many-headed Hydra. Our property is our poverty; so much so that we are ever in search of one to relieve us of it; for the expenses of the Church property amount to more than any profit that she derives from it.
