Summary:
Will subscribe to HS's work as requested [see HS's 1860-3-5], but dissents 'from very large portions' of HS's views. Especially objects to HS's adoption of the 'Shibboleth of the Hegel & Schelling School of German Philosophy—"the Absolute."' [This letter misdated; correct date: 1860-3-17.]
