User-Contributed Transcription to Professors of Religion attending dancing parties, & dancing while a old gray-haired man, Swedenborgian Minister, Capt. Adams sings "A man broke his nose on the pommel of a saddle. Did you ever, ever, ever see a man eat a whale." etc. etc. I attended such a party at Eben Greenleaf's in Dea. Lee's house, and was not only surprised & incensed, but abashed & humbled at the doings of a company of rational creatures (forty) from 20 to 50 years old, perhaps; some of them members of my church. I cannot feel right to go to such parties - Think they ought not to be. What's your opinion of such things?Miss Lucy H. MetcalfMilo via Bangor Mr. Isaac S.
