Description:

Oriskany Dec 26th 1830 Dear brother I received your letter the 27 of September. I neglected writing to you because mother said she would write another and Randal came here last Friday to see the Doctor – our brother is no better but I think he is much worse he did not go to the salt watter but only went to Troy and there he met with a doctor who said he could cure him he torried there two weeks and then returned home – he has spent fifty dollars with in four months mother and her family are well Angelina is at home I expect she will stay there this winter you wish’t me to write something about uncle Palmers family but I have not been there but once in two years. They live near the yellow school house. It is two years since I first came to Oriskany and I like living here verry much I never enjoied better health than do now I do not recollect of one day for two years that I have not been able to work. I can . . . Dear brother I set down this evening to finish my letter I have just returned from a prayer meeting it seams as though the Lord was begining to revive his work in this place Some are enquireing what they shall do to be saved. throu the mercy of God I am brought to see the close of the last Sabbath in the year while many are called to try the realites of Eternity – and now dear brother I must bid you Adieu and if we never meet again in this world may we be prepared to meet in Heaven. Give my respects to sister Harriet Willcox
