Letter to the London Evening Post criticizes editors and defends biblical authority
A reader chastises the London Evening Post for neglecting practical women’s concerns and praise of conquests. The writer argues from scripture the justice of punishment and mercy, cites Exodus through Ezekiel, defends the Bible’s transmission against critics, and laments neglect of female readership in political discourse. A separate letter discusses Courland affairs and European diplomacy with mentions of Keyserling, court measures, and potential pacification efforts.
