You probably didn't expect to hear from me again, but our dear Father in the Lord is quite busy and asked me to write you instead. (Interpretation: He was so stunned by your last message that he's wallowing in pity and fear in a bathtub full of sherry.)

Miss Prissy, we understand that you have decided to leave the Family and this is your choice. No one is ever forced to stay in the Family. It's all a voluntary army. (As in all armies, of course, we do shoot deserters, not with bullets, but with condemntion.) And as you know, there have been unfortunate violations of the Law of Love, and we have reprimanded the guilty parties concerned, Dad himself being the exception. Whatever that dirty old man does is fine.

Anyone who ever offended you is so, so sorry and we hope you understand that. If is unfortunate, however, that you seem to feel that Father David has personally offended you. Search your memory, Miss Prissy, and recall the many kind things he has said to you when you were living in our home. "Choose the good and eshew the evil." Eshew the evil means to say, "Shoo, go away." Like the old song, "Shoo fly, o shoo fly,o don't you bother me." Being a female Negro, you should have heard that song down in Colored Town where you and all your People live.

Please also remember that our dear Father in the Lord has nothing against African-Americans or even Negros for that matter. None of his horribly racist remarks should be taken at face value. Dad loves this "children of color" and longs to hold them in his arms. So we do trust you will not continue to disseminate false information that the Family is any way racist against Black African-American Negro people.

Remember also the kind things he has said about Martin Luther King, quoting J.Edgar Hoover who said that he was probably a communist. Considering how much Dad liked communists (at one point) that could be taken to be a compliment.
