Critics and readers clash over sharp newspaper criticism
A disjointed critique decries hypercritical readers who demand perfect spelling and moral rigor, then shifts to excerpts from the St Louis Democrat about Iowa mission work. It notes Iowa’s population, churches, and the spread of Baptists, followed by a note on Confederate currency and a humor anecdote about Hogarth. It ends with a Davenport bank pledge to help pay national debt.
