Note from Winthrop Chanler to William Austin Wadsworth
Winthrop Chanler relays a new conclusion that he reached at church. When Abraham was binding Isaac for sacrifice, a ram caught his attention and was offered instead. Chanler notes that “if it had not been for that ram, there never would have been any Jews” and wonders how any one can go on eating mutton. He jokingly states that the only thing that “consoled” him from “learning this frightful news” was that they did not hold collection.
