The letter was actually written in the fall of 1833.
I understand that there are valid sources that say 1832, however they are
in error. The letter was written in reply to a letter written to Madison
and well over 100 other people making up a whose who of 1833 America by
the Rev Jasper Adams regarding a sermon he had given and then had
published. The sermon was given and published in early 1833.
