Letter from Theodore Parker, Barnstable, [Massachusetts], to Convers Francis, 1836 Nov[ember] 12

Theodore Parker writes to Convers Francis in regards to receiving a letter from Lydia Cabot [later his wife] telling him that he is offered to supply Mr. Burton's pulpit and lecture "for a time." He requests his opinion on the matter of which parish he is to settle in. He is weary of "candidating." He writes, "it is not only a 'wariness unto the flesh' but unto the spirit."
