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

- undated, but probably 1833 and How sweet the memory of the blest,
O’er Jordan past, in heaven at rest;
Peaceful her pious soul hath fled;
Eternal joys, shall crown her head.
Where Jesus reigns, where angels sing
In rapturous strains, the arches ring
Let this bright tenant of the skies,
Come home; her faith won the prize;
On earth, she acted well her part;
Exalted deeds, flowed from her heart;
Here faith and hope, and sacred trust,
Meet their reward, for God is just.
Inscribed to the memory of Mrs Hope Wilcox

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
