Quote by Joanna Southcott
My faith grew strong, and I sent a letter (as I was ordered) to the Rev. Dignitary of the Cathedral of Exeter. I was assured, before I sent it, he would not answer it.
Summary
The quote suggests that the speaker's faith became stronger, leading them to send a letter to the Reverend Dignitary of the Cathedral of Exeter. However, they already anticipated that their letter will remain unanswered, despite following the orders to send it. The implication could be that the act of sending the letter was not necessarily intended to receive a response, but rather to reinforce their own faith and commitment.
