Scope and Content Note

This letter dated August 3, 1866 was written by James Smith to a Dr. Tregelles, probably the Biblical scholar Samuel Prideaux Tregelles.  In this letter, a response to an earlier letter from Tregelles, Smith discusses his health, Tregelles' writing, and the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.  Smith lastly refers to the work of another Biblical scholar, Dr. Cureton, who he refers to as an authority on Syria.  This person is probably William Cureton.
