Description:

Oriskany Feb 24th 1833 Dear Brother I received your letter the 11 of this month but I have not had time to answer it. I am still living in Oriskay I left the [Y… last] October and am trying to learn the tailors trade. I have not heard from home Since Now last they were all well at that time. Angelina is living at Mr Babcocks she was here when a few days ago her health is rather better than it has been heretofore Uncle Palmers family are still living in Deerfield they talk of coming here to live but it is uncertain whether they will or not. I am very uch disturbed while I am attempting to write a few lines by people coming in and going out And I must endeavor to be short as possible. Brother it is a lond time since we have seen each other and possibly we may never meet again in this world. Oh let us be prepared to meet in Heaven where parting will be no more Dear Brother I know not the State of your mind whether you are a Christian or not. one thing I know that is you ought to be one And Christ says except ye repent and be converted y can never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. now I do intreat of you that would examine yourself and try yourself by the word of God and see whether you have in interest in Christ or not. Search the Scriptures Says Christ for in them ye think ye have eternal life and they are they which testify of me. As for myself I feel determined to Serve God let others do as they may it is about nine months since I made this resolution. I sought for happiness in every way but the write way but I never found it until I found it in Christ----the Lord has done great things For our family Anjelina Emily and Sarah all profess to have a hope in Christ I do not know that mother is converted as yet but I have faith to believe she will be And I hope the next news I have from you that I shall hear you have becom a child of God. I want to see you and your family very much Now I must bring my letter a close. And now Brother my heart’s desire and prayer to God is that you may be Saved---- Farewell Harriet Willcox
