An account of the resource
Our next speaker for the evening, Dean Kenneth Clark of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Rochester.
Dean Kenneth Clark: I'm delighted to be one of the first persons to be heard in the Rochester community over the increased power station WRUR. This station has been known to students on the campus for a long time, as you heard from President Wallis, I trust that the people in the community will find that this channel of communication, one that they attend to, and one that they will use to help understand some of the things going on on the campus, and to help them also participate in a wide variety of educational activities of the campus. As Dean of the College of Arts and Science, I'm delighted to see this enterprise for another reason: that is, that it will increase the effectiveness of the educational program of the campus. One thing that we try to do whenever we run any form of an exceptional program, is to do it at the very highest level, we try to help the students have an experience that is not a shadow experience of the real world, but an actual participating experience. I believe that the people of the community of Rochester are going to be astonished as they listen to this station. If you tune in accidentally, you will not believe that you are listening to a station that is run as an extracurricular activity of students of the University of Rochester, you will believe that you're listening to another one of the professional stations in the community. In fact, I believe that you will find that the quality of the technical production that is the quality of the sound that comes from this station will be as good as you will find anyplace. And you will find it, the programming and the announcing and all of the other things that make a station like this bill, are such high quality that you will seek it out as one of the best outlets on campus. Our students have been delighted with it. They have found it a very useful way of keeping up what happens on the campus. I hope that the people of Rochester will find it equally useful. And if you increase your interest and your understanding of the variety of things that students on this campus are doing.

Description
An account of the resource
WRUR is very proud to become Rochester's third FM radio station broadcasting at a power which permits us to be heard through out Monroe County. Tonight's ceremonies represent the realization of a goal set several years ago. Much effort by the entire membership of radio station WRUR has gone into tonight's achievements. As Dean Clark has stated, WRUR is an entirely extracurricular activity for the students of the University of Rochester. However, we take this activity very seriously. We realize the importance of the communications media in American life today, and consequently try to do our best every day to fulfill our obligation to our listeners. It is a great thrill to be on the air over the entire Rochester area. Now more than ever, we feel a part of this community. WRUR will be providing programming both educational and entertaining that we hope will appeal to all the people of Rochester. Every weekday evening at six o'clock, WRUR will present a one half hour in depth report of the latest news, sports, and weather. We will also present news reports on the hour throughout the evening. In addition, we will present programs that involve the Rochester community; a talk show Sunday evening; interviews with community leaders; special programs on aspects of life in Rochester. We will also present the best in lectures delivered on the River Campus by guest speakers, interviews with university newsmakers, and programs sponsored by various campus groups. On behalf of the staff and management of WRUR, I would like to thank the Students' Association of the University of Rochester for their faith in our broadcasting abilities and all of their support. I would also like to thank the University of Rochester Broadcasting Corporation and the Public Relations department for the many things they have done for us. Finally, I would like to thank our honored guests here tonight for helping to make this signing on a very joyous occasion.

My dear friend
Amy Post
I have been requested to say to
you, that in case any persons are going to the
Convention in Cleveland, via Buffalo, if they will
make known their destination at the Office in Buffalo
at the time of paying their fare thence to Cleveland
(which will be $4) they will be furnished with a
commutation card on which their name will be
written in full, and which will have on the back of
it a Certificate in blank to be filled up and signed
by the presiding Officer of the Convention. The possess-
ion of this, duly signed, will entitle the person
whose name it may bear to return to Buffalo
without further payment of [fare].
I wished to inform Susan B. Anthony
but thought it doubtful whether she was at home.
If she is, will you be good enough to let her
know
And [oblige]

<p> Mrs Post </p>
<p> Dear Friend</p>
<p> At the</p>
<p>request of our good friend, Sojourner</p>
<p>Truth, I now indite [sic] these</p>
<p>lines to you; I saw her a</p>
<p>few days since, and she was</p>
<p>censuring herself for not having</p>
<p>written to you ere this, but</p>
<p>being so dependent as she is</p>
<p>in this respect upon others</p>
<p>to write for her, she has</p>
<p>defered [sic] it till this time &</p>
<p>now asks my slight services</p>
<p>in her behalf which I most</p>
<p>readily grant.</p>
<p> Sojourner has</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 2)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>been in Washington near</p>
<p>two months & has visited several</p>
<p>of the prominent men here,</p>
<p>selling Photographs &&, some of</p>
<p>the parties have been quite</p>
<p>genorus [sic] with her, the President</p>
<p>for instance, who at the</p>
<p>time of her calling on him,</p>
<p>gave her five dollars for</p>
<p>one of her Photos, for which</p>
<p>she is very grateful.</p>
<p> She is quite well, and</p>
<p>appears to be enjoying herself</p>
<p>here; has held two meetings,</p>
<p>had quite good audiences, &</p>
<p>from the sale of Photographs,</p>
<p>contributions &&, she realized</p>
<p>about 65 dollars, which she</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 3)</p>
<p> </p>
<p> thinks was doing well.</p>
<p> There is a Gentleman</p>
<p>who is now working to procure</p>
<p>pay for services rendered</p>
<p>here by her, some time</p>
<p>since, in the cause of the</p>
<p>Freedmen & Women, I trust</p>
<p>she may be successful in</p>
<p>her behalf, as she so earnestly</p>
<p>desires to pay for her little</p>
<p>home, that she may have</p>
<p>a place which she can call</p>
<p>her own.</p>
<p> It is her intention</p>
<p>to leave here in a few</p>
<p>days, as she desires & expects</p>
<p>to be in N.Y. city during</p>
<p>anniversary week so that she</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 4)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>can attend the Womans</p>
<p>Suffrage Meeting, the cause</p>
<p>which she is deeply interested</p>

(Page 1)<br /><br /> Catt. Reservation. June 5. 1854<br /><br /> Mr Isaac M. Post.<br /> Rochester-<br /> Respected Friend,<br /> John Joe the blind<br /> Indian who sometimes visits you at Rochester,<br /> requests me to write in his behalf to inform you<br /> of the death of his friend Joseph L. Peter, or as he<br /> was sometimes called, Joseph Young. He died last<br /> Friday night, or rather Saturday morning at one o'clock.<br /> He was very calm & peaceful in view of death. Trust-<br /> ing in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.<br /> His widow is very anxious to have her oldest daugh-<br /> ter, Laura, attend school, and wishes to know if<br /> you cannot take her into your family. Doubtless<br /> one reason of her request is that she finds it difficult<br /> to provide for so large a number of orphan children<br /> but as Laura is old enough to do something towards her<br /> own support, there must be also a strong desire <br /> to have her instructed, or she would not be so anxious<br /> to spare her. They request you to write to Laura<br /> on the subject, especially if there should be any diffi-<br /> culty in the way of receiving her. You may, if you<br /> please, direct to my care, Versailles, Catt. Co. N. Y.<br /> Joe hopes you will not think he means to fail of <br /> paying you the 4/- he borrowed. He thinks he shall go to<br /> Rochester, at least by the 4^th^of next month<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">s</span>, & will pay you.<br /> Very Respectfully, your friend, Asher Wright.<br />
Annotations
<p>Asher Wright was a missionary serving on the Cattaraugus Reservation, a Seneca reservation around thirty miles south of Buffalo, New York.<a title="">[1]</a> Wright appears to have lived, or at least received mail in the small town of Versailles, Cattaraugus County, New York, which was on the southern edge of the reservation. The Cattaraugus Reservation was first formed under the Pickering Treaty, also known as the Canandaigua Treaty in 1794.<a title="">[2]</a> In 1838, it was sold to the Ogden Land Company under the Buffalo Creek Treaty, a flagrant breach of Seneca rights which Wright publicly opposed.<a title="">[3]</a> but was restored four years later under the 'compromise treaty'.<a title="">[4]</a> After the loss of the Buffalo Creek Reservation, where he had served since 1831, Wright moved his mission onto the Cattaraugus Reservation in 1845.<a title="">[5]</a> Wright became fascinated with the culture of the Senecas he came to convert. He not only learned to speak Seneca fluently,<a title="">[6]</a> but also created a Seneca dictionary, <em>A spelling-book in the Seneca language: With English Definitions,</em> published in 1842,<a title="">[7]</a> and made efforts to document and preserve their creation myths.<a title="">[8]</a> During his decades amongst the Seneca, Wright developed a keen understanding of their culture and society, and contributed his expertise to the research of pioneering ethnologist Lewis Henry Morgan in the 1870s.<a title="">[9]</a> Around the time of Joseph S. Peter's death, Wright and his wife, Laura Sheldon Wright were already concerned about the number of orphans on the Cattaraugus Reservation.<a title="">[10]</a> One year after this letter was written, Wright successfully petitioned the state legislature for a charter to establish an orphanage.<a title="">[11]</a> Isaac and Amy Post were prominent figures in Rochester's abolition and women's suffrage movements, Wright's letter highlights their less well known work with Indians in western New York. The letter also refers to blind John Joe, a Seneca living at the Cattaraugus reservation who was a mutual acquaintance, and had visited Isaac Post in Rochester.</p>

John Tyler

excellency will, we pray most earnestly, to listen
us. We the women of our race, feel troubled with
deep anxiety, for our children, who are in our
hands, Feel as tho [sic] we are banded up with our
children in our Farms. And we pray you our
Great Father, the President, to unlace our bondage,
which gives ^us^ much pain.
Our Great Father, the President – - We the women of the
Tonawanda, have exerted our influence, in trying to
have our Chiefs to be united in their minds in ^their^ Councils. &
they have done so, – not one of our Chiefs here, have
signed the Treaty, and we are astonished to hear

the Great Spirit has given to his Red Children of this Country.
Our Great Father – We will say [with] ^as^ our Chiefs have said
repeatedly in ^their^ Councils, [and] when a gen. Council was
opened at Cattaraugus, two years ago, by J. R. Poinsett, late
Sectory [sic] of War;” the same was repeated by our Chiefs, that
we are willing that the emigrating party should have their
proportion & share of their lands and dispose of it.
The former Treaties made with our Nation, by George Washington
the first President, is good, – the continuation of which is
compared to the Sun rises & sets, and waters continue to
flow, – Washington trusted in the Great Spirit, and he

freedom and human rights, – and it is given to us
also, to enjoy our freedom. –

<p>(Page 1)<br /><br /> Locus Grove January 24<sup>th</sup> 1841<br /> Dear Sister<br /> After waiting with great anxiety<br /> one week for Jeffries he arrived on the 16<sup>th</sup><br /> in company with E and M R Kirby who are here yet<br /> visiting among their friends sometimes in company with<br /> us and sometimes [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">with us</span>] alone. Last first day we all<br /> spent at brother Johns pleasantly and I hope to MRs<br /> satisfaction as there was nothing said upon abolition Second<br /> day ^eve^ at Samuel J Underhill s where the merrits [sic] of George<br /> F White were dilated upon with much interest by Samuel<br /> who says he George does not deal in any southern flour on<br /> account of his abolition principles thereby depriving himself<br /> of much that would be his Samuel thinks him a verry [sic]<br /> excellent man.

Last first day we all spent at brother Johns pleasantly and I hope to MRs satisfaction as there was nothing said upon abolition Second day ^eve^ at Samuel J Underhill s where the merrits [sic] of George F White were dilated upon with much interest by Samuel who says he George does not deal in any southern flour on account of his abolition principles thereby depriving himself of much that would be his Samuel thinks him a verry [sic] excellent man. Jeffries and Mary are making great dependence on hearing him which perhaps we may as we intend to attend Quarterly Meeting this week and if we hear George leave for Philadelphia on seventh day if not perhaps we shall wait untill [sic] second day and attend their meeting on first day.

Willie continues to sleep well at night, has gener<br /> -ally two naps a day and two or three rides has a good appetite<br /> and has gained some flesh, he does not walk alone but is<br /> more fond of being let about than when you lift. __<br /> I suppose some of our folks have told you of George Willetts<br /> visit he left ^last eve^ yesterday for Buffalo and perhaps Pittsburgh<br /> Ann and the children are at Scipio.

[Dec. 11, 1852]
Locust Grove December 11th 52
Dear Sister &c
I have delayed writing a little because I have been quite busy some of the time making mother a double gown and we have expected every day to hear from you untill I feel really anxious and some alarm about you. have not received a line except brother Isaacs half sheet written immediately after I left home. I fear some you are sick and you defer writing because you do not like to trouble us It seems to me that thee would write before this if thee was well enough. It is too stormy for me to go to Jericho tonight but I shall ask William to go. I am not sure that I answered brother Isaac,s questions about the money. It was safe in the letter. Willet and Matilda are now grieving that they did not send the turnips after I came the weather has been so warm that we think perhaps the boats have continued to run. In my last I forgot to say to WIlliam that sister Mary said he ought to take some tea to purify his blood to stop those styes, frost weed she thinks as good as any -tho birdock root is very good. she says tell Mary to make it as palatable as she can with milk and sugar and put it on the table for him every meal. he should also take one or two doces of cathartic medicine a week, Hygean Pills she reccommends of course I hope William will feel like following her advice for a while
When I came here all seemed so well satisfied with mothers taking pills and as she was improving a little I did not feel like saying a word against it. She has continued to take them at first about every other day and sometimes a couple of No 1 at night when her cough was very troublesome. she has not taken any in several days now and said tonight she hoped to get along without them, her cough has almost left her sprits very little phlegm I do not see but she may get about as usual after a while, she sits up more than half the day I think and has several times walked alone from one room to the other tho her side is very weakand easily gets tired, yesterday she was unfortunate enough to fall while attempting to shut the door after going in the other room and hurt her some but not badly did not fall on the floor but sat down on the little chair father said she could not get up alone. I was absent making my first visit. Went with Matthew and Hannah to William Robius mother seemed quite willing that I should accept their invitation I enjoyed the ride and visit very much. They spoke of thy visit. William said he had been to Ropers since and heard the rapping Ann Ropers daughter in law the medium, he was satisfied that she made the raps, he thinks with her knees. We have not seen or heard from sister Elizabeth since she went from here the day I arrived, it did not seem quite right to go so near and not see them but I did not feel like accepting Matthews kind offer to come back that way as I knew they wished to get home early and it was so near dark
Hannah and I are planning to spend a day there before long if mother continues to improve. Brother Willet expects to kill hogs seconday and I shall not try to go untill that is all over - I am hoping to see James and E tomorrow to it is stormy yet. It is growing colder which suits the people here it has been so very warm the did not like to kill the hogs. Henry Willis we hear lost some "his pork by killing last seventh day and keeping till seconday we have had several rainy days but each time it clears off warm. I have before me a beautiful boquet of stockjillies, renuncalis (I think) and burnet from aunt Esther's garden, Marigolds and artimitid from Matildas. Fifth day aunt Esther gave me a pot of fine stock fille just from her garden, they look well have not drooped at all.
Seconday morning
Cloudy and cold enough for the pond to be frozen over. Our men folks are busy with the hogs. James and Elizabeth came yesterday afternoon, she expects to stay several days while the walls are drying, has been sick ever since she went home, the first week not able to leave her room took cold in the damp open house and had a chill every night. James said he kept well but Elizabeth and the children were having colds all the time and E was fairly frightened away, he returned last evening. Wallace is at his grandfather Motts and Cornell at Lotts. Sister E has just been showing me a roll of needle book which she thought was from me but I have no recollection of it - suppose thee sent it, she thinks the needles are very good better than they get here. I think Matildas hoarseness is better tho she has not said any thing like it she is trying a wet bandage at night talks about taking pills. Thee and I thought that she would be troubled about mothers having a doctor, but she tells me it was her who sent for him having first found that father and mother were willing. she has been very pleasant and kind since I came, says she was sick herself while mother was the worst. I expect brother W trouble her as well as our sisters. she thinks he does better but I fear there is no improvement from what I see and she tells me. Sister Mary told me she had written something something about troubles here or I should not have named it now. Brother Willet expects to go to Wisconsin this winter to buy a farm tho he does not talk like leaving this while father lives. is going to Richland City depending upon William Ketcham for advice in buying. It seems to me that I will be as well for them to keep their money at interest untill they are ready to go on it, beside I do not like their going so far from us all should like them to be near Rochester but I fear it would not be well for him. They have government land in view -
I want very much to hear from you hope I shall find a letter today, the mail arrives and leaves verry near the same time. Is Sarah Thayer with you yet. What do you hear from the girls? has William C Nell arrived: I fancy if you are well that you have had busy times changing about things things in the house. Hope Eunice has got well and that Sarah Birney keeps well. Mary Ann seemed so stout I hope she will miss her usual cough and pain. Does Willie sleep alone yet, tell him I hope he will learn to spell cat and dog and a great many words before I get back. Mother looks very smart in her new double gown and has been asking for her work basket wants to take a few stitches in fathers vest. Cousin William is now here says E in improving. Mother thinks she gains very slow but I think she improves a little every day tho' it is not perceptable each day suppose you very must be off for Boston about this time Affectionately Sarah

(Page 1)<br /><br /> Pen Yan March 6<sup>th</sup> 52<br /> Dear sister<br /> We arrived at this place about half past one, were<br /> met at the depot by Mr Huntington Mrs Smith and Mrs<br /> Bridgman all very pleasant people. Mr Huntington conducted us all to<br /> his house where we were politely, c<span style="text-decoration:underline;">o</span>r<span style="text-decoration:underline;">d</span>i<span style="text-decoration:underline;">a</span>lly received by his wife and<br /> niece who resides with them, her name Catharine Hayes, she is an in –<br /> valid and I begin to think a very interesting girl. After changing dress<br /> (for I got mine very muddy in the omnibus) and eating dinner the<br /> people began to come in and kept Miss Holly talking untill [sic] tea time<br /> almost, I believe there were between twenty and thirty calls. You know<br /> that Sallie is competint [sic] to talk with every one, of course the afternoon<br /> passed agreably [sic], I think all were pleased with her tho they were all church<br /> members and could not appreciate <span style="text-decoration:underline;">al</span>l her sentiments or worship &c<br /> which she expresses quite freely. Her lecture was well attended tho we<br /> had to regret that many were obliged to turn away unsatisfied because<br /> the house was too small to admit them. It was the Wesleyan Methodist<br /> house. She treated the subject much the same as in Rochester, with great<br /> seriousness, spoke about an hour. S S and A K Foster held six meetings here<br /> and the people are all after as astir as you may judge be the interest to hear Miss<br /> Holly. Four gentlemen have just come in, are complaining of their harsh<br /> language while Miss Holly is just now saying “perhaps no one will bear<br /> close criticism but I feel that they command my respect, are noble advoca^tes^<br /> of humanity &c.” Our kind entertainers are not decided outspoken <br /> or convicted abolitionists but are begining [sic] to feel much interest and are<br /> as kind as any body could be, have a nice home and use it so freely for<br /> our comfort.<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> Jefferson Sunday afternoon I thought to have a long day to read and<br /> write to you but it is almost gone and so pleasantly that it seems<br /> short. Went to Presbyterian church this morning with Mrs Cobern a<br /> pleasant woman of twenty three years, and this afternoon Miss Holley<br /> addressed a good audience in a hall which she had last evening, the<br /> churches are denied her because the people are shocked at Fosters infidelity<br /> and impolite manners. The methodists [sic] have resolved not to let theirs<br /> again untill [sic] they know something about the person wishing it. So the<br /> minister told us this morning, but he did not go to hear her last one<br /> and today he is engaged. Miss H is strongly impressed with the excitement<br /> Fosters have made “Why” says she in her emphatic manner “It is wonderful<br /> I do not believe if I should lecture lecture [sic] a whole year that I should<br /> stir the people up so.” she is very particular that they should understand<br /> that she is in unity with Stephen and Abby says she d<span style="text-decoration:underline;">ar</span>e not say that<br /> she wishes them to do differently. It is near time to go. I should like to have<br /> been with you today with our dear bereaved friends in their last sad<br /> separation but as Miss Holley told me it would be, I feel that it is good for<br /> me to be here. On our arrival we were met by Mrs and Rev Mr Cobern and<br /> Mr Terry who accompanied us to Coberns house except Mr Cobern who took<br /> the cars to Havanna [sic] on this way ^to^ some other place to preach, he is a<br /> Christian or Unitarian and principal in the school here<br /> Monday morning The meeting last evening was well attended by a very<br /> attentive audience, the address was good but to me the afternoon lecture<br /> was a superior one, the fugitive slave law was dwelt upon at some length<br /> and in a close fearless manner particularly pleasing to me _<br /> After meeting last eve we went home with Dr and Mrs Tompkins. he is a <br /> Whig favoring abolitionism, she a member of the methodist [sic] church and can<br /> -not see how she can do any good by leaving it. You would have thought<br /> her a fit companion for Abby Kelley Foster if you would have heard her<br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> talk to them, tell them she could almost tolerate sheep thieves & horse<br /> thieves but when it came to sellers of women and children she could not<br /> imagine how any one could call himself christian [sic] and remain<br /> and she should think just as hard of the men who voted for a man to <br /> sell her as of the man who sold her. Well said Dr T that is pretty close<br /> doctrine.

Pen Yan March 6th 52 Dear sister We arrived at this place about half past one, were met at the depot by Mr Huntington Mrs Smith and Mrs Bridgman all very pleasant people. Mr Huntington conducted us all to his house where we were politely, cordially received by his wife and niece who resides with them, her name Catharine Hayes, she is an in - valid and I begin to think a very interesting girl. After changing dress (for I got mine very muddy in the omnibus) and eating dinner the people began to come in and kept Miss Holly talking untill [sic] tea time almost, I believe there were between twenty and thirty calls. You know that Sallie is competint [sic] to talk with every one, of course the afternoon passed agreably [sic], I think all were pleased with her tho they were all church members and could not appreciate all her sentiments or worship &c which she expresses quite freely. Her lecture was well attended tho we had to regret that many were obliged to turn away unsatisfied because the house was too small to admit them. It was the Wesleyan Methodist house. She treated the subject much the same as in Rochester, with great seriousness, spoke about an hour. S S and A K Foster held six meetings here and the people are all after as astir as you may judge be the interest to hear Miss Holly. Four gentlemen have just come in, are complaining of their harsh language while Miss Holly is just now saying "perhaps no one will bear close criticism but I feel that they command my respect, are noble advoca^tes^ of humanity &c." Our kind entertainers are not decided outspoken or convicted abolitionists but are begining [sic] to feel much interest and are as kind as any body could be, have a nice home and use it so freely for our comfort. Jefferson Sunday afternoon I thought to have a long day to read and write to you but it is almost gone and so pleasantly that it seems short. Went to Presbyterian church this morning with Mrs Cobern a pleasant woman of twenty three years, and this afternoon Miss Holley addressed a good audience in a hall which she had last evening, the churches are denied her because the people are shocked at Fosters infidelity and impolite manners. The methodists [sic] have resolved not to let theirs again untill [sic] they know something about the person wishing it. So the minister told us this morning, but he did not go to hear her last one and today he is engaged. Miss H is strongly impressed with the excitement Fosters have made "Why" says she in her emphatic manner "It is wonderful I do not believe if I should lecture lecture [sic] a whole year that I should stir the people up so." she is very particular that they should understand that she is in unity with Stephen and Abby says she dare not say that she wishes them to do differently. It is near time to go. I should like to have been with you today with our dear bereaved friends in their last sad separation but as Miss Holley told me it would be, I feel that it is good for me to be here. On our arrival we were met by Mrs and Rev Mr Cobern and Mr Terry who accompanied us to Coberns house except Mr Cobern who took the cars to Havanna [sic] on this way ^to^ some other place to preach, he is a Christian or Unitarian and principal in the school here Monday morning The meeting last evening was well attended by a very attentive audience, the address was good but to me the afternoon lecture was a superior one, the fugitive slave law was dwelt upon at some length and in a close fearless manner particularly pleasing to me _ After meeting last eve we went home with Dr and Mrs Tompkins. he is a Whig favoring abolitionism, she a member of the methodist [sic] church and can -not see how she can do any good by leaving it. You would have thought her a fit companion for Abby Kelley Foster if you would have heard her talk to them, tell them she could almost tolerate sheep thieves & horse thieves but when it came to sellers of women and children she could not imagine how any one could call himself christian [sic] and remain and she should think just as hard of the men who voted for a man to sell her as of the man who sold her. Well said Dr T that is pretty close doctrine. He insisted on our stopping a night on our return with them and would like a lecture on Womens Rights, promised to subscribe for a paper if we came. There are many interesting things to tell but it seems to me what I do attempt I fail in, am so interested in conversation, and when Miss Holley is not talking I feel the necessity of making some attempts to snake myself somewhat agreable [sic] to our good friends and to read a little. Now there is a man who has resided south, giving Miss H some interesting facts to which I have been half listening some time. We returned to Coberns a bout [sic] nine this morning now near twelve. We leave for Havanna [sic] half past one, Mrs Cobern will go with us and her husband go after school, we have not seen him today asHavana ^Millport^ 10th 5 O'clock Just arrived from Havanna [sic]. Met at the depot by two persons whose names I forget, and conducted by them to Dr Seamans We are to meet in the Methodist Church tonight and tomorrow night in another I believe Presbyterian Here as at other places we find friends, and foes of Stephen and Abby.

<p>(Page 1)<br /><br /> Elmira Sunday 14<sup>th</sup><br /> Dear Sister<br /> I felt very much disappointed<br /> on my arrival yesterday not to find<br /> any letter in the Office for me, I had<br /> so much hoped to hear from you<br /> while here and perhaps I may yet as<br /> we remain here untill [sic] Wednesday but<br /> I fear you may have sent to Canandagua [sic]<br /> as there was something said about that<br /> when we parted. We shall not spend any<br /> time there but I shall try to go to the Office<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> if we have to wait for the cars. I thought<br /> when we parted that we were to be at this <br /> place last week<br /> Miss Holley’s plans now are to meet [A K F?]<br /> at Walworth on the 25<sup>th</sup> lecturing on the ^way^ at the<br /> following places.

<p>Ganannoque [sic] Sep 12<sup>th</sup> 1846<br />seventh day morn</p>
<p>Dear sister</p>
<p>Here I am safe and well in Thomas<br />and Phebe’s parlour and here I have been nearly a<br />week without an attempt to inform you of my arri-<br />-val, not because I have been too homesick to write<br />but we have had so much to talk about that I<br />could scarcely spare time to write all I wanted to say<br />so did not commence. Before I say anything about<br />Canada I’ll just name ^the voyage^ the seasickness and all that<br />After you left me I went to the cabin and chose one of<br />the berths I spoke of to you and after a while mrs C<br />and I went on deck to look around and see you<br />on your way but in that we were disappointed for<br />you were out of sight, we soon left the dock but<br />in turning something caught in one of the wheels<br />which detained us some time, at a quarter past<br />twelve I think we moved off and a delightful sail<br />we had down the river only I could not divest myself<br />of the impression that we were running aground when<br />-ever I looked any way but behind the banks seemed so<br />[wear [sic]?], we were seated on the back of the boat so that we<br />could not see directly ahead. but all that confined<br />feeling was dispersed when we were fairly out on<br />Ontario’s blue wave a fresh breeze was blowing and I could<br />exhale it without that breath cathing [sic] sensation experien-<br />-ced on the river. We sat a little while to enjoy the scene<br />then repaired I to my berth and my friends to their<br />state room at ten minutes past one I was snugly<br />packed away and soon slept undisturbed except by<br />the heat which was rather oppressive untill [sic] I removed<br />some of the bedding and admitted some air at the win<br />-dow which was at my head and I could look over the<br />broad waters whenever I awoke without raising.</p>
<p>At five I found we were approaching Oswego but was too<br />sleepy to rise took another nap about six the chamber<br />-maid awoke me saying breakfast would soon be ready –</p>
Mrs. Comings soon joined me but fearing to loose [sic] our
breakfast defered [sic] walking untill [sic] after the boiled chicken
bread and butter and stewed tomato was very good and a
variety of other things looked very good. After breakfast
we took bonnets shawls and seats on the upper deck
as it looked so damp and cloudy that we did not feel
like walking altho [sic] it appeared so pleasant a place
at a distance from the wharf particularly the west
side of the river, we slept on the east side but
I cannot tell much of it as an alarming incident
occured [sic] and attracted our attention from the beautif
-ul soon after we left the dock a man and boy
approached us in a small boat apparently with the
design of coming on board and we waited until [sic]
they were safe as far as I knew and started on our
course again when sudenly [sic] our friend Commings who
was standing by us cried out “a man overboard”
the startling cry was echoed from all parts of the
boat and a general rush to the stern ^where we were seated^ [t]ensued I rose
and ^at^ the first glimpse saw him swiming [sic] manfully
from us in the wake of the vessel and thought
he is safe, but soon his efforts seemed less effective
and finally ceased and he was sinking sinking [sic]
slowly, form our view every one held his breath I
believe for it was as still as death ^except a whispered “he is sinking”^ and I turned
away sick and faint when sudenly [sic] every one
seemed to find a tongue and cried out to the
boy in the boat to row to him. I looked agan [sic]
the boy stood a moment looking at us then
bravely siezed [sic] the oars and and [sic] dexterously brou
-ght it to the place just as the drowning man made
another effort and rose above the water and streatc-
-hed [sic] out his hand to him [and turn him] the boy
drew him to the boat and exerted himself greatly to
get him but could only get one foot over for a long
time the man seemed so exhausted that he could
do nothing but cling to the side of the boat finally
he was dragged in and seated and dropt his head
in his hands as he was roed [sic] to shore and we passed
(Page 3)
off down stream. by this time the sun began to shine
faintly through the clouds and the Village, fort, and
lighthouse combined to form a pleasant picture
which I should have enjoyed rather more I think if
the image of poor man strugling [sic] under water
had not so often come between me and that.
We glided smoothly along untill [sic] we passed the
pier when in one minute what a change the
boat rocked and my head whirled and whirled
in terrible confusion, I leaned it against some
-thing to try to steady when Comings said if I
was dizzy we had better go forward as we were
in the worst part of the boat for seasickness so I
took his arm and we staggered along through
the Saloon to the forward deck where we took
seats and felt so much more comfortable that
I soon began to walk round to try and get a view
of Oswego for I did not like to leave it without
seeing it from the Lake. I thought it very pleas
-antly situated but could not get as far a view as
I wished without gowing [sic] astern again which I did
not much fancy for I could not walk very strai
-ght where I was. but my head grew steady and more
steady while Mrs Comings grew sick and finally
was obliged to lay down in a stateroom near by
and one after another left the deck looking [obliterated]
and pale. As I went in the saloon on my way to [obliterated]
Mrs C I saw a lady on one end of a safe and a gent
on the ^other^ pretty sick he poor fellow was very pale and
some one was fanning him. I felt well but thought
very likely my turn would come next and finding
Mrs C asleep returned to my seat on deck to enjoy
the scene as long as I could for it was delightful
the wind increased some and as we passed stony or
rocky point (I forget which) we rode up and down most
gloriously some gentlemen sitting there talking and
reading began to look about and, “how ruff [sic] it is” and
a strong wind “why I never saw it so ruff [sic] before” often met
my ears. At the point I saw the waves roling [sic] to the shore and

after we got him a drink of milk we reached home after
eleven a tedious ride to some of our company but it was
so light and pleasant that I enjoyed it very well our
baggage owing to a misunderstanding did not come

take a walk just at night to Squaw point on the St
Lawrence have walked out several times since and
yester day Thomas took us two miles up the creek in a skiff

breaking like the surf on Long Island. It was rather
calmer after we passed the Point but no pleasanter
for me for I liked to ride so grandly over the roling [sic]
wave and enjoy [illegible] the trip O I cannot tell how muc^h^
the wind continued to blow untill [sic] we reached K
ingston but did not disturb me in the least I passed
almost the whole time on deck. At Qackets [sic, Sackets] Harbour we
three (Mrs C being better) ran on shore a few minutes saw
nothing particularly interesting or beautiful about
the place was quite disappointed in it there are forti-
-fications there, and an uncompleted man of war which
we could not see as it was covered by a large house
it was built I was told during the last war. Soon after
leaving Qackets [sic, Sackets] we dined a very good dinner of fish
meats and vegetables of various kinds I believe Mrs C
and I were the only ladies at table and she left long
before I was satisfied so that I was left alone with
the gentlemen now was the time to get seasick from Qackets [sic, Sackets] to
Kingston and to get beyond the sight of land I wished most
heartily that we should but all my wishes would not take us far
enough away to render the blue streak along the horizon invisib
-ble [sic]. Some time after dinner I took a look in the Cabin to see how they
fared there all were laying down but looked tolerably comfortable
except two or three. My eyes were pretty tired so I lay down and slept
untill [sic] Mrs C touched me and said we are coming in sight of Kingston
(Page 2)
[Text sideways, overlapping original text]
I sprang up put on my bonnet and went on deck as quick as possi
-ble and a lovely scene lay before me Kingston is said to
look gloomy I believe [but] it does look rather somber but it
was novel to me I had never seen so English a looking town
before and the situation is so pleasant I thought the
approach to it very fine it is built of grey stone mostly
and there are some fine buildings the market house is a
noble building to [sic] much so for its use it was commenced
or built for a Parliament house but Montreall [sic] gained the
ascending and Parl sits there. The catholics [sic] are building
a large house of worship which shows conspicuously from
the Lake. We were there so short a time that I did not see
many things particularly but all at once a shower too
prevented our walking much and to tell the truth my
nerves were in such a tumult at meeting with Thomas
and Phebe that I would not enjoy it as well and was
nearer being homesick when I left the boat than I
had been seasick while on it before we touched the
dock we saw Thomas awaiting us he bowed and
soon joined us on deck and conducted us to [the] Irons

<p>(Page 1)<br /><br /> Locus [sic] Grove 7<sup>th</sup> mo 5<sup>th</sup> 1837<br /> Dear sister<br /> We have delayed writing to you<br /> some time hoping to see you or hear that you<br /> were coming soon, but as you do not come or<br /> write mother insists on my informing you by next<br /> mail that we are looking for you every day<br /> and begin to fear that hard times have at last<br /> affected you so that we shall have to spend the<br /> summer without so much as a look at you<br /> which will be somewhat in the cross I assure you.<br /> but we will endeavour [sic] to submit with cheerfulness<br /> hoping the summer will terminate at least as<br /> pleasantly as it has commenced. I think you will<br /> loose [sic] something by not coming this delightful<br /> season for it appears to me that our Island is more<br /> beautiful than ever, even after seeing your fair<br /> country it has not lost one charm but the<br /> more I view the lovely scene around me the more<br /> I admire it. It is a rainy afternoon and Jacob has<br /> appeard [sic] much interested with his book some time<br /> but now comes earnestly asking “is the writing<br /> any thing about me? do tell them to come<br /> here, will thee? ask them <span style="text-decoration:underline;">wh</span>en they are coming<br /> He has had a cold but is pretty well again except<br /> a cough. I have had a cold and gathering in my<br /> head which was verry [sic] painful and has affected my<br /> hearing verry [sic] much it is more than a week since<br /> it broke and I cannot hear well yet tho [sic] I think a<br /> little better than a few days ago when I could not hear<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> any thing that was not spoken much louder than<br /> usual, a number of our acquaintances have been<br /> similarly affected. Sister Mary was one her health does not<br /> appear to be verry [sic] good little Lucretia I believe is<br /> well and verry [sic] good Sister Elizabeth has not been<br /> here but once tho [sic] she is well but little John Cor-<br /> -nwall had a cold when I saw him last and James<br /> was sick a week or two; is well now we expected<br /> them first day conclude company prevented<br /> Mary R is at her fathers [sic] quite unwell with chills<br /> and fever brother Edmund has been there several<br /> days will probably stay the remainder of the week<br /><br /> [This letter, #484 written by Sarah Kirby, resumes in the middle of <br /> page 3, with line beginning “6<sup>th</sup> day morning”. The rest of page 2 <br /> and top half of page 3 was written by Mary Kirby, mother of Sarah <br /> and Amy, and #485.]<br /><br /> (Page 3, middle of page)<br /><br /> 6<sup>th</sup> day morning it is later than usual for<br /> Marys chill and she says she feels comfortable yet, has<br /> not got up yet father frequently speaks of going<br /> to the beach says he is waiting for you brother<br /> Willet and Matilda went last week with her<br /> brothers and their wives had a very pleasant<br /> day and I believe enjoyed themselves vastly<br /> Matilda stays with us all the time appears<br /> verry [sic] well contented do not know that she is<br /> much troubled with homesickness, Brother W<br /> is verry [sic] steady at home which is a great comfort<br /> to us. Mary says she saw Cornelia Post s marria<br /> ge in the paper so I supose [sic] she is in Cincinattee [sic]<br /> should like to know if Henry has suited himself<br /> with a home yet I should like to hear of their<br /> settling at Rochester as it will be pleasant to you<br /> particularly to Mary. I was glad to hear you<br /><br /> (Page 4)<br /><br /> were fixing your house think it will be much<br /> more convenient. I have not heard any<br /> thing from Phebe Smith this long time<br /> suppose she is at Rochester yet as I<br /> have not heard of her being down here<br /> and I should not suppose she would<br /> come to LI without coming to Jericho<br /> SLK<br /><br /> [Text in center of page, running downwards]<br /><br /><br /> Jericho NY 18 ¾ <br /> July 10<br /> Isaac Post<br /> Rochester<br /> Monroe County<br /> NY<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>

Locus [sic] Grove 7th mo 5th 1837 Dear sister We have delayed writing to you some time hoping to see you or hear that you were coming soon, but as you do not come or write mother insists on my informing you by next mail that we are looking for you every day and begin to fear that hard times have at last affected you so that we shall have to spend the summer without so much as a look at you which will be somewhat in the cross I assure you. but we will endeavour [sic] to submit with cheerfulness hoping the summer will terminate at least as pleasantly as it has commenced. I think you will loose [sic] something by not coming this delightful season for it appears to me that our Island is more beautiful than ever, even after seeing your fair country it has not lost one charm but the more I view the lovely scene around me the more I admire it. It is a rainy afternoon and Jacob has appeard [sic] much interested with his book some time but now comes earnestly asking "is the writing any thing about me? do tell them to come here, will thee? ask them when they are coming He has had a cold but is pretty well again except a cough. I have had a cold and gathering in my head which was verry [sic] painful and has affected my hearing verry [sic] much it is more than a week since it broke and I cannot hear well yet tho [sic] I think a little better than a few days ago when I could not hear any thing that was not spoken much louder than usual, a number of our acquaintances have been similarly affected. Sister Mary was one her health does not appear to be verry [sic] good little Lucretia I believe is well and verry [sic] good Sister Elizabeth has not been here but once tho [sic] she is well but little John Cor- -nwall had a cold when I saw him last and James was sick a week or two; is well now we expected them first day conclude company prevented Mary R is at her fathers [sic] quite unwell with chills and fever brother Edmund has been there several days will probably stay the remainder of the week [This letter, #484 written by Sarah Kirby, resumes in the middle of page 3, with line beginning "6th day morning". The rest of page 2 and top half of page 3 was written by Mary Kirby, mother of Sarah and Amy, and #485.] (Page 3, middle of page) 6th day morning it is later than usual for Marys chill and she says she feels comfortable yet, has not got up yet father frequently speaks of going to the beach says he is waiting for you brother Willet and Matilda went last week with her brothers and their wives had a very pleasant day and I believe enjoyed themselves vastly Matilda stays with us all the time appears verry [sic] well contented do not know that she is much troubled with homesickness, Brother W is verry [sic] steady at home which is a great comfort to us. Mary says she saw Cornelia Post s marria ge in the paper so I supose [sic] she is in Cincinattee [sic] should like to know if Henry has suited himself with a home yet I should like to hear of their settling at Rochester as it will be pleasant to you particularly to Mary. I was glad to hear you were fixing your house think it will be much more convenient. I have not heard any thing from Phebe Smith this long time suppose she is at Rochester yet as I have not heard of her being down here and I should not suppose she would come to LI without coming to Jericho SLK [Text in center of page, running downwards] Jericho NY 1834 July 10 Isaac Post Rochester Monroe County NY

<p>(Page 1)<br /><br /> Syosset Oct 7<sup>th</sup><br /> Dear Sister<br /> Instead of riding off to Brook<br /> lyn this morning as we anticipated we <br /> are <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">ant</span> expecting rain and sit by the <br /> fire which affords me an opportunity of <br /> writing. Yesterday we spent with father <br /> and Matilda, brother Willet gone south <br /> for hay most of the day. Father was bright <br /> and comfortable but ate but little, has just <br /> had trouble with his stomach and bowels<br /> has complained of sick stomach often <br /> since we came but mostly seems very <br /> smart I think better than two years ago<br /> his mind so much clearer Matilda<br /> looked well and happy when we first <br /> saw her but yesterday morning she <br /> looked as if she felt badly, said her <br /> head troubled her and she had taken <br /> some pills that morning. at noon <br /> she looked better and we left her <br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> last evening apparently as well and <br /> bright as usual. Week before last we <br /> passed several days there very pleasantly <br /> indeed, last Thursday brother Willet took <br /> Mary and me to James Motts where we <br /> remained untill [sic] seventh day enjoying <br /> ourselves greatly sailing walking <br /> riding, and talking at home, were <br /> prevented making a visit at Henry <br /> Willets’ by a shower but made a little<br /> call, they have a nice house, beautiful <br /> prospect, looked well themselves and <br /> were very cordial to us. Seventh day <br /> we came here by cars and find Edmund <br /> returned from Boston the evening before<br /> having had a good time I believe.<br /> Seconday we four went to Uncle Isaac<br /> Rushmore Matilda seemed very smart <br /> but has a cold and quite bad cough <br /> it seemed very nice to see her so well<br /> Edmund has finished at Brooklyn for the <br /> present and is home. Uncle Isaac came <br /> from N.Y at night having been down <br /> to meeting for sufferings He said <br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> Rachel Moore was at meetings<br /> preached and invited her friends to <br /> meet her at another meeting in the <br /> afternoon at which Richard Cromwell<br /> informed informed [sic] - the people that <br /> the doctrines they had heard were not <br /> the doctrines of friends and friends <br /> were not responsible for them <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">at</span> <br /> a crowd collected around him and <br /> many I understood generally blamed <br /> him for his course. We visited ^at^ Isaac<br /> Hicks Samuel Hicks and returned <br /> leaving uncle James till next week <br /> when Catherine will be home, we saw <br /> them one afternoon at brother John’s <br /> aunt Mary Post came first day to <br /> Stephen Robbins’ to take care of Hannah<br /> Carpenter who is sick with fever, Esther <br /> is better. We had a very pleasant visit <br /> at uncle Josephs’ soon after we came are<br /> going again soon if aunt Mary is <br /> released as I expect she is by this <br /> time. Edmund is going to office I will <br /> bet this go and commence another <br /> Sarah <br /><br /> [Text in right margin, written upward]<br /> thee asked about Mrs. Boen we hear she has made you<br /> [Continues upside down in top margin]<br /> a visit <br /><br /> (Page 4)<br /><br /> [Text halfway down the page on left side]<br /> Amy Post</p>

Syosset Oct 7th Dear Sister Instead of riding off to Brook lyn this morning as we anticipated we are ant expecting rain and sit by the fire which affords me an opportunity of writing. Yesterday we spent with father and Matilda, brother Willet gone south for hay most of the day. Father was bright and comfortable but ate but little, has just had trouble with his stomach and bowels has complained of sick stomach often since we came but mostly seems very smart I think better than two years ago his mind so much clearer Matilda looked well and happy when we first saw her but yesterday morning she looked as if she felt badly, said her head troubled her and she had taken some pills that morning. at noon she looked better and we left her last evening apparently as well and bright as usual. Week before last we passed several days there very pleasantly indeed, last Thursday brother Willet took Mary and me to James Motts where we remained untill [sic] seventh day enjoying ourselves greatly sailing walking riding, and talking at home, were prevented making a visit at Henry Willets' by a shower but made a little call, they have a nice house, beautiful prospect, looked well themselves and were very cordial to us. Seventh day we came here by cars and find Edmund returned from Boston the evening before having had a good time I believe. Seconday we four went to Uncle Isaac Rushmore Matilda seemed very smart but has a cold and quite bad cough it seemed very nice to see her so well Edmund has finished at Brooklyn for the present and is home. Uncle Isaac came from N.Y at night having been down to meeting for sufferings He said Rachel Moore was at meetings preached and invited her friends to meet her at another meeting in the afternoon at which Richard Cromwell informed informed [sic] - the people that the doctrines they had heard were not the doctrines of friends and friends were not responsible for them at a crowd collected around him and many I understood generally blamed him for his course. We visited ^at^ Isaac Hicks Samuel Hicks and returned leaving uncle James till next week when Catherine will be home, we saw them one afternoon at brother John's aunt Mary Post came first day to Stephen Robbins' to take care of Hannah Carpenter who is sick with fever, Esther is better. We had a very pleasant visit at uncle Josephs' soon after we came are going again soon if aunt Mary is released as I expect she is by this time. Edmund is going to office I will bet this go and commence another Sarah [Text in right margin, written upward] thee asked about Mrs. Boen we hear she has made you [Continues upside down in top margin] a visit [Text halfway down the page on left side] Amy Post

The Dr. says his teeth are the cause of <br /> his sickness, suppose he is correct as I find one just throug^h^ <br /> and others apparently coming through hope he will not <br /> be as sick again but you need not feel anxious about <br /> it. I think I shall not feel so bad again as I know now<br /> better how to manage him. I felt and we all felt wretch<br /> -edly lonely <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">after</span> two or three days after you left but <br /> yesterday and tod^a^y are more cheerful all gloom has left<br /> me and I think we can get along first rate unless W<br /> gets sick again, and then, we will do our best <br /> Alf[er?] has left Mary to work in the factory she gets <br /> $2 per week Mary has to keep pretty close now I have not <br /> seen her since first day afternoon she has had company <br /> several times. Thirday Mary W Post Giles & Catherine S<br /> dined there; and Dorcas Collins to tea Mary seemed to enjoy<br /> it, said Mary U wishes ^to^ let them have feathers on brother Isaac<br /> account. Yesterday we had a delightful rain all day<br /> and have plenty of water in the cistern tho it is not full<br /> Jacob W C N. and EPW all went to D V Gates exhibition <br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> last evening and enjoyed it much W C N calls him a good<br /> elocutionest and says he will be a great man is a genius <br /> he will repeat tonight and some of our people are going again<br /> William Nell took Phebe Thayer they are going tonight and wish <br /> me to accompany them W is moving off his books but does not <br /> say anything of going himself wishes to get his things up there <br /> before he leaves for Boston. It has been so very lonely I have <br /> been glad to have him stay. Dorcas told me that Abby is coming <br /> dow [sic] next week to visit Mary and me, I have wished for her <br /> this week and shall bid her welcome whenever she comes<br /> We have not cleaned any yet hope we shall be able to <br /> next week. Joanna was quite sick yesterday but some of<br /> Willies medicines have restored her Bridget too was quite <br /> indisposed but is better today they are both pleasant and kind <br /> Bridget came a few minutes ago and wished me to send her <br /> love to you Joanna sleeps with me and seems to feel quite a res<br /> -ponsibility would wake very quick when Willie cried Elizabeth <br /> is here this afternoon. Elizabeth Brown surprised us early one<br /> morning almost her first words were “are your folks all<br /> gone” she staid [sic] two days and has I suppose gone on to <br /> Farmington to dispose of their things that are stored there she <br /> does not expect to go any farther. I did not say much to <br /> her of William her little girl is pretty quite light colored and<br /> straight hair like an Judians.

Rochester May 12th Dear sister As I suppose you are now on Long Island and anxious to hear from Willie I waive the strong in -clination I feel to read the Star or to walk out this pleasant morning to inform you of his convalescence, to my great joy he seems almost well this morning is happy and laughing as he stands by my side. Second day afternoon Willie took a long ride with Bridget and Joanna while Mary and I went to the Milliners with our bonnets, and I thought he took some cold but he slept very well that night much better than the first night, when he and I cried in concert an hour or two; Thirday morn was much as usual but in the afternoon his complaint increased so very much and accompanied by a hoarse cough and extreme fretfulness that I became alarmed and sent for the Dr by Jacob after tea, he soon came and told me to bathe him, soak his feet in warm water and he would send up some herbs for teas for drinks and inemas [sic] also some drops for his cough I did as directed and gave him his medicine and in a few minutes had him asleept [sic] in a gentle perspiration He breathed easy but often cried out as if in pain and coughed now and then so I resorted to the teas often during the night and next day tho he was more comfortable in the morning and enjoyed his bath very well but his bowel complaints continued untill (sic) near night I perceived an improvement he slept very well from seven O'clock till six next morn when he had a fine frolic in his trite and seemed very happy all day and last night I did not wak (sic) him once after he was carried in the bedroom till he awoke this morning after seven. It is now after one O'clock we dine now at twelve to accommodate Jacob Kirby Willie is asleep after amus ing us all with his gabbering a^nd^ gestures, we do not have any difficulty in getting him asleep generally in his carriage is always happy to get in and lays down looking so pleased and frequently shuts his eyes at once, has slept every even -ing since you left. The Dr. says his teeth are the cause of his sickness, suppose he is correct as I find one just throug^h^ and others apparently coming through hope he will not be as sick again but you need not feel anxious about it. I think I shall not feel so bad again as I know now better how to manage him. I felt and we all felt wretch -edly lonely after two or three days after you left but yesterday and tod^a^y are more cheerful all gloom has left me and I think we can get along first rate unless W gets sick again, and then, we will do our best Alf[er?] has left Mary to work in the factory she gets $2 per week Mary has to keep pretty close now I have not seen her since first day afternoon she has had company several times. Thirday Mary W Post Giles & Catherine S dined there; and Dorcas Collins to tea Mary seemed to enjoy it, said Mary U wishes ^to^ let them have feathers on brother Isaac account. Yesterday we had a delightful rain all day and have plenty of water in the cistern tho it is not full Jacob W C N. and EPW all went to D V Gates exhibition last evening and enjoyed it much W C N calls him a good elocutionest and says he will be a great man is a genius he will repeat tonight and some of our people are going again William Nell took Phebe Thayer they are going tonight and wish me to accompany them W is moving off his books but does not say anything of going himself wishes to get his things up there before he leaves for Boston. It has been so very lonely I have been glad to have him stay. Dorcas told me that Abby is coming dow [sic] next week to visit Mary and me, I have wished for her this week and shall bid her welcome whenever she comes We have not cleaned any yet hope we shall be able to next week. Joanna was quite sick yesterday but some of Willies medicines have restored her Bridget too was quite indisposed but is better today they are both pleasant and kind Bridget came a few minutes ago and wished me to send her love to you Joanna sleeps with me and seems to feel quite a res -ponsibility would wake very quick when Willie cried Elizabeth is here this afternoon. Elizabeth Brown surprised us early one morning almost her first words were "are your folks all gone" she staid [sic] two days and has I suppose gone on to Farmington to dispose of their things that are stored there she does not expect to go any farther. I did not say much to her of William her little girl is pretty quite light colored and straight hair like an Judians. E Doty has not been in I believ [sic] Joseph Hathaway was in and attended the meeting of the Committee William will tell you of its doings I presume I did not attend as I was too much alarmed about Willie to enjoy it, believe Joseph gave us a report.

All went very<br /> pleasant and cordial there but<br /> we were alone considerable <br /> in the afternoon and I felt<br /> rather lonely but yesterday<br /> there was so much to do and<br /> Matilda and I had so much<br /> to talk about that I was<br /> consoled and felt very content<br /> father is not very talkative<br /> and sleeps often so there is<br /> time to visit the others<br /> Matilda has no help except<br /> a smart boy who helps a great<br /> deal she say and I think he<br /> must, there is so much to do<br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> I believe some of the neighbours <br /> expect great things of me, for<br /> some of them express great sat<br /> -isfaction in any coming as M<br /> has had such a confining time<br /> She expects a girl next week<br /> I thought at first that father <br /> was v<span style="text-decoration:underline;">er</span>y little changed, but<br /> after being with him mere [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">and</span>] ^I^<br /> think it is rather more difficult<br /> for him to move about and<br /> he does not yet seem quite<br /> as bright and clear as last<br /> fall – after all considering<br /> the poor summer he has had<br /> he is changed less than we<br /> could expect. His appetite is<br /> poor but he manages to eat<br /> some every meal time, yesterday<br /><br /> (Page 4)<br /><br /> he seemed better than the<br /> day before had no cold<br /> turn and little fever after<br /> it as on first day.

Syosset thirday [sic] morg Dear sister Since writing before I have been two days with father, designed to stay there today too but Edmund & Catherine called last evening and induced me to come away, have seen sister Mary only a few minutes, will go there after dinner It is a south west storm commenced last night soon after we came home. We went to see father &c seventh day found him a little better and looking not very different we thought from many days last fall when he felt about as the best - next morning when I went he seemed to feel sick and felt very dull said he had not slept well or not at all the latter part of the night. All went very pleasant and cordial there but we were alone considerable in the afternoon and I felt rather lonely but yesterday there was so much to do and Matilda and I had so much to talk about that I was consoled and felt very content father is not very talkative and sleeps often so there is time to visit the others Matilda has no help except a smart boy who helps a great deal she say and I think he must, there is so much to do I believe some of the neighbours expect great things of me, for some of them express great sat -isfaction in any coming as M has had such a confining time She expects a girl next week I thought at first that father was very little changed, but after being with him mere [and] ^I^ think it is rather more difficult for him to move about and he does not yet seem quite as bright and clear as last fall - after all considering the poor summer he has had he is changed less than we could expect. His appetite is poor but he manages to eat some every meal time, yesterday he seemed better than the day before had no cold turn and little fever after it as on first day. He sits up all day. Slept very well first day night but sometime. hes [sic] pain in his foot and one hip too that keeps him awake No one sleeps below but him but his cane or a crutch serve to awaken those above. If the lounge had been in the room I should have slept there but as it was not thought it best to make no fuss about it. He seemed in no hurry to get up in the morning but ready when we were ready to help him Sixth day morning I came here fourth day and forgot to leave this for E to send, and again yesterday Uncle Joseph and family went with us to dinner after meeting yesterday and I ame [sic] down with them at night found father sick in bed was taken with a chill just as Matilda was ready to go to meeting and was restless with fever in the even ing, about ten o'clock he was quieter and we went to bed - getting up often to see to him, I was up some time with him between three and four O'clock then left him again About five Matilda called me saying father had another chill. It lasted a good while and he has been sick and troubled with a thick matter in his throat, Now at night he breathes rather easier but groans at almost every breath and often throws his arms out. It is cold and windy and we wish he was in the east room, it will be diffi cult to move him but M is planning to do so and I must go and do something fer [sic] her Half past three - Brother is so nicely moved in the north east room a good fire on the hearth & I am combed ready for company hope sister Mary will come, I want her to see how sick father is. He answers questions sensibly but I doubt if he knows that he is moved he asked while getting him ready what we were about and said that we hurt him, he seemed tired after getting him in here and his face looked very red and drops of perspiration stood on his nose.

<p>(Page 1)<br /> Locus Grove Sep 19<br /><br /> Dear Sister <br /> Contrary to my expectation <br /> the day we arrived after writing <br /> that I should spend the afternoon with<br /> sister Mary and Catherine, I came down <br /> here with brother Willet who happened <br /> to be up that way soon after our notes <br /> were off to the office. I found father quite <br /> improved seemed much more comfortable <br /> than I expected to find him, was setting <br /> here in the back room by a fire which <br /> he has every day, his eyes are quite sore <br /> yet, look very red this morning, and are <br /> painful so that we have just bound<br /> them up wet with an eye water prepared<br /> by Dr. Bowen. He look thin for him, talks <br /> much as we have been accustomed to hear <br /> him, only at times it seems more difficult <br /> for him to recall names or part of circum<br /> stances. also says he is turned about thinks<br /> the fire place is on the north side of the room<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> and imagines they are living away up <br /> the north river, does wish he could <br /> get back to Long Island again, he <br /> tells me this himself knows perfectly that <br /> it is not so but says it s<span style="text-decoration:underline;">eem</span>s so to me <br /> I asked him if he felt so in the other room <br /> he said he had not been in there much <br /> but it was about the same in his bed<br /> room. He laid on the loung [sic] to sleep an<br /> hour yesterday afternoon and at night<br /> walked with his crutches to his bed room <br /> I came down about or nearly six o’clock<br /> this morning, found him setting by the <br /> fire said he did not know that he <br /> slept any last night and that he got <br /> up between up two and three o’clock says<br /> his foot pained him some but does not <br /> think that the reason he could not sleep<br /> he takes a preparation of some kind to <br /> induce sleep but he seems to sleep <br /> poorly complains of dreaming so much <br /> both asleep and awake. His appetite is <br /> much better seems to enjoy his food now<br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> has wanted clams, now they have <br /> excellent ones, he enjoys the plums and <br /> Edmund bought him some bartlet [sic]<br /> and sekel [sic] pears. I spent fourth day at <br /> Syosset the afternoon at brother Johns, came<br /> here again yesterday morning and expect <br /> to stay untill [sic] tomorrow night or first <br /> day, yesterday was monthly meeting.<br /> We found Matilda looking rather poorly <br /> has a gathering on her stomach which <br /> looked very red and just ready to <br /> discharge, yesterday and today she looks<br /> better and moves about much as usual <br /> says her sore look a little better once <br /> discharges some, Brother Willet is sowing <br /> wheat this morning, went to south for <br /> a load of hay yesterday morning and got <br /> back before meeting time was asleep on <br /> the couch when we came, says he is pretty <br /> well and wants to see thee very much <br /> Matilda says she had a letter partly <br /> written to thee but she wont send it now<br /> It looks very pleasant about here and I <br /> am enjoying the visit hope fathers eyes will<br /><br /> (Page 4)<br /><br /> improve again if we do not neglect them<br /> his foot I have scarcely seen, it looked <br /> swelled the whole foot but M says it<br /> has gone down some and father says it,<br /> is slowly getting better Matilda is going <br /> to dress it soon with some of your salve<br /> then I shall see it more distinctly, there <br /> is a little running sore on the little<br /> toe I believe father says tell Amy her <br /> plums tasted ve^r^y good. Matilda comes in <br /> with a basket of very fine grapes they picked <br /> some last night to send to market today<br /> the vine is very full. Father asks if thee and <br /> I always live friendly. I said yes, never fall out ^s^.<br /> he says, no, I replied, well thy mother and ^I^<br /> never fell out; all ask if thee is coming this <br /> fall. I say that I think not if father continues <br /> as comfortable as now.<br /><br /> [Text in pencil]<br /> Seconday (sic) near [illegible]<br /> Samuel just going to the office I came up here<br /> last evening instead of seventh day felt like liv<br /> -ing there then E and C came after me yesterday father<br /> had a number of calls J C Haviland, his two daughters <br /> Sarah & Lydia and Edward Merrit and cousin Lydia<br /> Dr. Bowen Rebecca K. E Mott and Cornell came from<br /> Westbury meeting. Sister C looks thin but says she <br /> is much better. Father was quite bright com<br /> fortable yesterday, seventh day he was very sleepy <br /> I think for three days he has not been troubled<br /> as much with dreams. Matilda says her gathering <br /> is most well and she seems bright and will has a <br /> [Continues upward into right margin]<br /> pretty good girl</p>

I found father quite improved seemed much more comfortable than I expected to find him, was setting here in the back room by a fire which he has every day, his eyes are quite sore yet, look very red this morning, and are painful so that we have just bound them up wet with an eye water prepared by Dr. Bowen. He look thin for him, talks much as we have been accustomed to hear him, only at times it seems more difficult for him to recall names or part of circum stances. also says he is turned about thinks the fire place is on the north side of the room and imagines they are living away up the north river, does wish he could get back to Long Island again, he tells me this himself knows perfectly that it is not so but says it seems so to me I asked him if he felt so in the other room he said he had not been in there much but it was about the same in his bed room. He laid on the loung [sic] to sleep an hour yesterday afternoon and at night walked with his crutches to his bed room I came down about or nearly six o'clock this morning, found him setting by the fire said he did not know that he slept any last night and that he got up between up two and three o'clock says his foot pained him some but does not think that the reason he could not sleep he takes a preparation of some kind to induce sleep but he seems to sleep poorly complains of dreaming so much both asleep and awake. His appetite is much better seems to enjoy his food now has wanted clams, now they have excellent ones, he enjoys the plums and Edmund bought him some bartlet [sic] and sekel [sic] pears. I spent fourth day at Syosset the afternoon at brother Johns, came here again yesterday morning and expect to stay untill [sic] tomorrow night or first day, yesterday was monthly meeting. We found Matilda looking rather poorly has a gathering on her stomach which looked very red and just ready to discharge, yesterday and today she looks better and moves about much as usual says her sore look a little better once discharges some, Brother Willet is sowing wheat this morning, went to south for a load of hay yesterday morning and got back before meeting time was asleep on the couch when we came, says he is pretty well and wants to see thee very much Matilda says she had a letter partly written to thee but she wont send it now It looks very pleasant about here and I am enjoying the visit hope fathers eyes will improve again if we do not neglect them his foot I have scarcely seen, it looked swelled the whole foot but M says it has gone down some and father says it, is slowly getting better Matilda is going to dress it soon with some of your salve then I shall see it more distinctly, there is a little running sore on the little toe I believe father says tell Amy her plums tasted ve^r^y good. Matilda comes in with a basket of very fine grapes they picked some last night to send to market today the vine is very full. Father asks if thee and I always live friendly. I said yes, never fall out ^s^. he says, no, I replied, well thy mother and ^I^ never fell out; all ask if thee is coming this fall. I say that I think not if father continues as comfortable as now. [Text in pencil] Seconday (sic) near [illegible] Samuel just going to the office I came up here last evening instead of seventh day felt like liv -ing there then E and C came after me yesterday father had a number of calls J C Haviland, his two daughters Sarah & Lydia and Edward Merrit and cousin Lydia Dr. Bowen Rebecca K. E Mott and Cornell came from Westbury meeting. Sister C looks thin but says she is much better. Father was quite bright com fortable yesterday, seventh day he was very sleepy I think for three days he has not been troubled as much with dreams.

Annotations
<p>In this letter, Samuel Willis recounts several events he attended in the Long Island Quaker community of Jericho to his brother Edmund P. Willis. Samuel discusses the funeral of community member Sally B. Earle and a Quaker meeting at which members discussed the establishment of a library in Jericho. He also outlines several farmland transactions among community and family members and the health and wellbeing of family members such as his ailing grandfather. Although the information Samuel provides to Edmund is ordinary, it reveals how thoroughly Quakerism dominated the ordinary daily activities of Samuel and other members of Jericho. Samuel’s letter, thus, might be useful to social historians studying community and family life in nineteenth-century New York. The fact that members of Samuel’s community discussed the establishment of a public library at a religious gathering demonstrates the blurry intersection of public and religious life in nineteenth-century Jericho. Quakerism also informs Samuel’s understanding of his world. For example, Samuel uses the Quaker vocabulary of time to reference days (e.g., “seventh day evening”). This letter might also be useful to agricultural and economic historians of nineteenth-century New York, especially if they are interested in Long Island. Samuel details the deals as well as the prices of farms sold by members of his community and family.</p>

Dec. 25, 1822<br /><br />Amy (Kirby) Post<br /><br />Westbury 12 mo 25th, 1822<br /><br />My Dear Amy<br /><br />I have once more [aroused?]<br />my pen from the lethargy and inactiveness in<br />which it has so long lain for the pleasing<br />purpose of answering thy very acceptable<br />epistle which was duly received some time<br />since and upon Edmd [sic] delivering his message<br />"that I must answer thy letter" again reminded me of<br />the debt so long due but blet me apologise a little<br />for my long silence.- I have been to New York<br /><strikethrough>for up wards</strikethrough>] on a visit and stay'd a little more<br />than two weeks and got up last seventh evening<br />I came with Wm Willett in the snow storm in<br />company with Amy Willet & Phebe Titus whose<br />very agreeable company and interesting conversation<br />made the ride quite comfordable especially considering that<br />it was a severe storm and the knows that it requires<br />the attention of a person for sometime before they<br />start on a journey to make all things ready and<br />after they get home to relate all their adventures<br />but let me stop I make such a such a bad hand at apologising<br />I am ashamed of it but my dear Amy please<br />excuse me for my ong silence and again favour<br />me with thy communications and in future I will<br />try to be more faithful in paying my debt and away<br />-- well my girl I have filled one side with I hardly know not what and as I have written so little of late<br />thou wilt presume I have lost my hand or that I write quite [differently?] <br /><br />
Well I have turned over my paper and what shall<br />I say next I will just tell thee that I shall<br />expect Amy Willis and Phebe Titus here next<br />first day and my dear Amy she must certaintly<br />come with them come to meeting and here after<br />meeting I shall expect ^thee^ so do not disappoint<br />me the may give the nicest [beau?] she is acquainted with ^an invitation^ to wait upon the we shall<br />be very glad to see him also and especially it it<br />Benjm;--well I suppose thou hast got almost perfect<br />in writing and I hope thou wilt not compare<br />my careless scribbling to thy own academic penmanship<br />I expect ^Benjm^ is indeed a very fine man though<br />something of an old bachelor but notwithstanding<br />I have not a doubt he is a very cap^a^ble person<br />to instruct the young mind in the path of kno-<br />wledge and imperceptably lead them on in the<br />path of virtue and well doing. <strikethrough>and</strikethrough> under such a teacher<br />it will be expected my dear girl that thou<br />hast indeed made very rapid progress in the<br />path of knowledge and I understand that [illegible]<br />B. has a pecular faculty of gaining the affections<br />of his scholars beware my dear beware guard<br />well the [illegible] of thy succeptible heart do not<br />let cupids darts get to much entangled in ^thy^ heart that<br />it will be impossible to [eradicate?] them but I agree<br />with thee in sentiment that so fine a man<br />as he is, endowed with so great a show of good nature<br />and possessing all the manly accomplishments should<br />live an old bachelor is a great pity
We have this day had the company of Isaac<br />Hammer from [Tennessee?] at meeting but he did did not<br />open his mouth I was quite disappointed he looked<br />something like a [illegible?] Willis a very [solid?] grave looking<br />personage he is going to Jerusalem this afternoon<br />and I understand he calculated to be at Jericho<br />sixth day I hope you will fare a little better than<br />we did I felt something of a curiousity to have<br />herd [sic] him but was not gratefied--<br /><br />I had like to have forgotten to have told thee<br />that whilst at N. York I made a visit to the [Widow?]<br />Johnson's and saw the most amiable William Johnson<br />he quite complimented me in saying that [illegible]<br />I made him think of thee indeed I think it<br />a compliment and I expect my dear friend thou<br />will soon see him again as he says he intends<br />coming as soon to make a visit so set thy<br />cap [?] they were very clever and looked very smart<br /><br /><br />I have also understood that James Seaman<br />has been to Jericho lately probably to see Phebe Hicks<br />well I don't know but it will do [very?] well<br /><br />Don't forget to come to Westbury first day<br />and as it is Christmas eve I must conclude<br />don't forget to write soon I like to hear from thee<br />often and all the particulars that are transpiring in<br />the neighborhood of Locust Grove and parts adjacent<br />so farewell farewell from thy sincere friend<br /><br />Phebe Willis<br /><br />PS do not my dear Amy I entreat thee<br />expose this [illegible?] scribbling to any person whatever

though we would go to grandfathers and Uncle Johns the same evening but fearing Maria would be two tired concluded it was best not to go, first day morning we concluded to go to Westbury meeting so we all went but Isaac dined at Sally [Glicks] called at Uncle James and took tea at Uncle Joseph and stoped to grandfathers and Uncle Johns they had a charge from [illegible] be sure to call to see her little namesake and she behaved her little self so well that she got much credit, [illegible] it was concluded to start early on second day morning for [illegible] Maria never having seen her Uncle Samuel Mott we rose early and got breakfast accordingly as we had to return the same evening while we were eating breakfast Samuel was harnessing the horses ^for us^ he said [Tappin] came for Samuel who came in got ready eat his breakfast and was ready to start about the time we did tho we went on a head they stopped for Edward and then to Willit Robbins for Matthew who being at [illegible] they went there for him and as he had to go home Samuel and Edward waited down at Jericho they had but one horse and were out in a hard rain got there near 12 after making a visit at Henry and Samuel Motts we returned retired ! again with the certainty that we must rise early as they were to go with the first train of cars so about ½ past 7 after eating breakfast they took leave ^having^ been very pleasantly with us I believe to themselves as well as us Maria says “Grandmother is the life of us all” Uncle Isaac and Aunt [Amy] know her so well they can relive it Lucretia writes and they say she is better thinks she has been benefited by the morning draft of salt and water recommended by John [Plummer] when he and father was there she wrote to us she has not yet going [illegible]
Poor John Jackson it seems as if he had brought himself to an untimely end and my mind has been seriously [illegible] with a query whether all have have been faithful whether every friend is clear it was so natural when advice proved ineffectual to turn a way and feel that all effort was useless but I am thinking we never ought to be weary of well doing and as there was something alive in John there seemed more ground for hope if the deadly poison could have been kept from him who knows but he would have made a useful man being rather of an entertaining turn it has been in his power to do more harm Williams wife had a daughter about two days before J died and over at David [Hitchanns] they have a young son The day after the boys went to prison Uncle John went in the morning to see what they stood in need of came home and said father must go that very afternoon and take a bed for them which he did together with some apples wood and [crossouts] they occupy the courtroom in which there is a stove and the rooms the [illegible] look so clean and nice that it really appears comfortable. father Isaac and I went there yesterday took some things for them found them very comfortable Samuel said they had felt the want of some well written composition on the subject of peace and having a pamphlet in dialog form on the very subject they wanted [principly] on learning to bear arms written ^by [illegible]^ in Boston and reprinted in Philadelphia with an introduction by friends which we have sent them Samuel said they had a large number of fellow prisoners a number of whom had been brought since they came when some taken from [Tappentown] for [studing sheep] were put in the room with others those already in accosted them with bah bah he sais that there ^are ^ two [colored] gentlemen there for passing counterfeit money they are very polite and one of them really intelligent he said he had lent them papers to read for which they were very grateful ^when^ they put a prisoner in with them the other day they asked him to [illegible] in sir hang up your hat sir will you have a bootjack
sir you had better take off your cloths before the light is taken out. Our boys are treated very kindly by the family but [Tappan] would have preferred having them kept in close confinement they have to stay 16 days well from thence we proceeded to Isaac Rushmores who himself has not returned from eastward with Rachel Hicks and company Matilda we think a real acquisition ^ to their family^ [illegible] I think is much as when thou was last there not any better but better than he has been a week or two past after dining we went to Joseph Hicks found Aunt Rachel and all well except some colds thence to Joseph Posts to see grandmother who has been quite poorly for the past week or two much as she [illegible] here two or three years ago their children too have been sick with colds but have recovered all well at grandfathers and Uncle Johns except grandfather who is pretty smart but for his sore on his face which gradually increases when the weather is pleasant he walks out every day Forth day and 17th of the mo my paper has [lain] several days in the hope and almost certain expectation that the last mail would convey a letter from thee but how have we been disappointed I cannot [more keep] thee waiting until we get thine to tell of its reception when Edward and Maria Davis were at thy Uncle Johns the former introduced the subject of slavery by our invitation to them to take the Liberator as considered it the best antislavery paper we had previously concluded to take thy brother John advanced the sentiment that the abolitionists are doing more hurt than good Edward told him he hoped when they met again he would be better informed on the subject however before they ^left^ here Uncle John concluded to [subscribe] in it the three important subjects for discussion are slavery, peace, and the rights of women, we concluded to commence with the year and yesterday received the two first [numbers] William Loyd Garrison the editor meets much opposition but the purity ^ and [illegible]^ of his views his independence and [none sectarianism] entitle him to respect and [illegible] Advertisements of a farm for sale are written [illegible] by Jacob [Kirby] 27th of 2nd month was talked of but I don’t know whether decided on the 22nd of this month is the day appointed for the sale of Samuel Jones place I doubt not at Uncle Kirbys they feel [tried] to advertis their place contrary to the advice of some of their best friends as they no doubt consider them and it seems unpleasant after resulting in a well considered conclusion to be [illegible] but tho they have come to the conclusion there is I suppose no certainty that they will sell
We have heard that our friends who went Eastward have returned tho we have heard none of the particulars relating to their journey which I have no doubt has been marked with much that is interesting the company consisted of Rachel Hicks, Maria [Farrington] John [Thimme] Isaac Rushmore and Silas [Carle] Rachel wrote a letter of invitation to Phibe I Merritt to join her I suppose not ^then^ knowing that John [Plummer] would join her he having [obtain
the unity of friends in a concern to appoint meetings and his concern leading that way it seemed best that they should go together and friends thinking the company large enough and I suppose not knowing that Phebe would come they started on third day and on fifth day she Phebe came up but finding they had gone she felt quite satisfied to return as she said she came entirely on Rachels account but I believe it is expected she will join Rachel in visiting Westbury families if not ^those of ^ Jericho which is I think most likely but I hope they will not come here untill Samuel gets home as it will be desirable at such a
time that the boys should all be at their homes I believe they expect to be set at liverty a week from this day at 12 oclock which will be quarterly meeting time I suppose they could go down 5th day morning
Willet S. Robbins Sarah Kirby and Rachel Willis ^went^ to the courthouse 1st day afternoon and I think some [illegible] Hannah Matthews wife concluded to wait untill the next day when there would be less company. Sally [Parle] I believe it is thought is fast declining tho I understand Dr. [Garvey] said he did not think she had simptoms of consumption
Thy Aunt Mary and little Lucretia spent 2nd day with Mary [F] at Westbury where she has been for the last [illegible] weeks and is pretty well. Cousin Anna Williss best eye has been so sore that she has feared she should loose the sight but I believe it is better now she still holds poorly and I intend calling to see her very soon her cousin [Gabriel Winderkill] has been with her a few weeks but she [page torn] again left alone as regards such a friend
[Daniel] talks of going to the courthouse to see Samuel but has not yet been Dianna is not married ^but Henry^ pays her a visit occasionally I don’t know how we should do without her [illegible] is not much different from when thou left home except that she grows so fast, Isaiah has left Uncle Johns he got troublesome runing about and they did not want him unless he conducted better and he not being disposed ^to^ conform ^to^ [requisitions] has taken his departure I have no doubt to his sorrow as he finds it difficult to get a place Sarah [Clast] has spent a week with grandfather and grandmother and a day with us said she wanted Charles to write to thee
Uncle Jacob has been and made his annual visit with us and to Islep and he said Samuel Willits was quite poorly. Hannah and her husband live in the new house that his father built for them and he is said to be more steady. Aunt Esther Robbins now calls herself pretty well. Our friend [Royed] looks poorly and is so tho he mostly gets to meeting but not his wife. Aunt Phebe Powell has been and spent a few days with her brother and William and [Elizabeth] were to come and spend the day here as we understood but they came 4th day after meeting for her and did not come here I have invited father to write or to add to this and I shall leave some room for him did I not confidently expect there was a letter on the way should your writing

I took a longer ride than usual yesterday hoping thereby to regain my appetite which has been poor since first day I also thought by riding further [sic] than I had before I should be more able to assertain [sic] wether [sic] it would do for me to go to meeting to day I find myself no better this morning than yesterday, and after reflecting with how much watchfulness and care I ^have^ regained the little strength which I have, and that the doors and windows will necessarily be open I having yet some cold in my ear and [obliterated] take a more [obliterated]

Jericho 18 of 3 Mo 1835Dear Brother and Sister We this morning received your very accepta-ble letter dated 8th of the present month and I felt willing thus early to take my pen in the hope that I could forwarda line by the return of the same opportunity. Mary Joneshas spent this day very agreeably with us. Tomorrow we gofor the second time to Bethpage to Monthly I expect youhave been informed that a proposition originated inBethpage preparative for holding Jericho monthly meetinga part of the time there which resulted in a conclusionto hold it once in three months at Bethpage for one yearand to commence in 12th mo having the approbation of theQuarterly Meeting. I was very glad to ^have^ a more particularaccount of Priscilla’s getting back and so soon returning backI wonder Lydia does not tell whether they preach or holdsilent opportunities in families but she may have her reasons for the seeming omission that is like Lucretia to say nothing about preaching. How ones [sic] sympathy is wanted for poor Nicolas Brown have you heard fromhim since Whether Lydia P. Mott and Priscilla Cadwaladerpreach or whether they forbear my sincere and ardent desireis that their movements may redound to the honourof the cause in which they are engaged and to the peaceof their own minds, I am glad Aunt Mary was so frank as to tell Deborah Otis that our friends has as good meetings as they had I wonder if she asked her thecaus [sic] of the meeting in New Bedford’s occasioning suchAufull [sic] feelings she ^expressed^ to William Roth [?] her feelings inthe same language ^on the same subject^ I received a letter from my dearLucretia last first day she expresses a wish that Aden Cory had a concern to go to PhiladelphiaShe thinks Charles Marriott’s pamphlet will be productive of much good by circulation that there is quite as much openness to read and examine this subject amongthose not of our fold as with ourselves, have you had theperusal of said work I think you will be interested with it
Lucretia informs that Elish [?] Dawson has a concern to pay a religious visit to England that the subject goes to the yearly Meeting by which I suppose it has past [sic] the Quarterh--- [illegible] think he will get along there perhaps than allmost [sic]any other friend. Well we have returned from Bethpageand my small degree of experience has taught me thatwhether we meet at Jerusalem Bethpage or Jericho to come at thefountain of life requires the same self abasement the samediging [sic] to get to the spring and that under a sense of our [either?] inability to perform of ourselves to perform acceptable [sic] worship but I think we have had a good meetingJohn Plummer delivered a communication evidentlyin the life after which appeared in a way that I do notremember to have known him before vocal supplicationJacob Jackson and his wife are both received into membershipwith friends as also Abigail Verity wife of Samuel who live nearThomas Whitsons at South and being admited [sic] I hope they willnot like C Hawxhurst have to say that they are disappointed tho I do not know how he feels now he has got settled withCharity. Jacob L. Mott spoke several times in public of ourmeetings for discipline being very instructive opportunities andwe do now [know?] that some of them are would that they were all soEdmund is still at John Motts school & writes that he is ^well^ contentedand that time passes swiftly but that he shall be ready to come home when his six months are up which will be about yearly meetingtime Catharine who is still at New York and who it appears is perfectlycontented will be home sooner I expect. William Willits and P Titusare to be married the week after quarterly meeting and Sidney Allen and his [P? C?] Titus next [6th ? ] day but when I am giving you information thatI think you have ^likely^ received through another I feel like cuting [sic] very shortyou have undoubtedly been informed of the death of our dear cousin P PowellI have had to experience feelings of deep regret for not exerting myselfmore to get to see her when several times she sent for me she toldme one time if I had have come sooner she wanted to show methe work that she had done that is since she had been sick and said that she had thought it right to give something to thosewho had set up with and waited on her and that she thought when Daniel Titus’s daughters were sick and had much done for them she ^in that^ way if it was ever her case she should not feel easy without confer-ing some token of regard which I believe she has most faithfuly [sic] attended to her sufferings ^had^ increased some weeks before her death perhaps two or three months more than I had expect [sic] that is it did not appearas if there would be so much change as there was very little change just at the last she died the last cold first day we had I think ^several of^ the familyhad been to meeting when her mother asked her what she would have for her dinner she replyd [sic] thee go out and eat thine I will wait awhile for mine not long after which however they perceived some littlechange and about three OClok [sic] she expired without having eaten afterbreakfast and without moving except laying her hand down which had beenunder her head while she was siting [sic] all most [sic] strait [sic] not having beenable to lay down for a long time patients [sic] and resignation continued to be her companions and O how ^sweet^ sweat in death did her corps [sic] appear
her funeral was pretty largly [sic] attended a meeting was held atthe meeting house Timothy preached but Rachel touched touched the feelings O how pathetic was her communication she com-menced with speaking of the gospel preached in every creatureit was ^said she^ that gospel preached in every creature that had madeher sick bed a comfortable one and which had made her sickroom a pleasant and even desirable to those around or words to this effect --- Our Isaac has a very heavy cold and I am recovering from an unusual cold ^for me.^ [obliterated] a general complaint prevails of coldsHenry says tell you he is very much engaged in cuting [sic] locust timber and fence and trying to get ready to go to Geneseo [?]yearly meeting but whether we go or not at present seems entirely [sic] raped [sic] in uncertainty and we think perhaps we shall priorto that time have the great satisfaction of seeing you herewhat do you hear from our cousin [Mintern?] Post we seemto be out of the way of hearing from him at all it is verypleasant to hear from Uncle Henry’s family throu [sic] yousince we are not privelaged [sic] to get immediate communication from them. I did expect after the girls were here they would ongeting [sic] home write to us. There was nothing said in brotherIsaac’s letter about Aunt Phebe’s health I don’t know whether she remembers that there is such a person as PPW in the landof the living but pleas [sic] tell her she still retains a place in myaffections. I forgot to tell you when on the subject of meeting that Bethpage preparative meeting is to be held once in thre [sic]months at Jerusalem and to commence in fourth month Mother left here I think about six weeks since in the enjoyment [?]of comfortable health has gained strength since Edmund R[obliterated]much better his mind entirely settled his mother thinks and [no?]doubt it is so for no one else has watched so closely ^almost ^ every movement Henry Mott and wife and ^with their^ Sister Mary and Brother John and his Mary havespent the day with us Henry said it was so long since B Londy* hadbeen heard from that he thought it doubtful whether any more accountof him was ever received. have you taken the Genius of Emancipation we understand it has stoped [sic] for want of patronage Samuel Jones has not been very well for some weeks butso that he mostly gets to meeting and out on business and to seehis friends some too but sweats nights feels tired and legs ach [sic] how much these symptoms are like father when he was first taken;I road [sic] with him and his wife to Bethpage on account of the rain and ourhaving no covered carriag [sic] on them telling me how he was I told himI thought he had best to try the pills (his wife having just said she could not prevail with him to take them) for I thought he was like my father he said he had thought much of him and had thought so buthe expected he ^father^ had exposed himself to much. We sold our carriage last fallin the expectation of geting [sic] a larger one it being too small to accommodate our family James Hewlett bought it and we hear they they [sic] like it much. David Ketcham is to bring his wife to live with theirbrother John for the present Martha expects to leave James Havelandsand I believe wishes to return to the old spot and I think in allprobability will tho I believe there is nothing fixed on There is a great deal of talk about Isaac Hicks’s attention to Mary F and I verily believe he is strongly attached tho I shouldbe very unwilling to be a spreader of reports, In relation to your auntHannah Willets no doubt you have been informed the particulars Do just let me wisper [sic] in your ears that there is a prospect of Joseph Postsfamily being enlarged in a way in which it has never been added to before*Benjamin Lundy, publisher of the anti-slavery newspaper The Genius of Universal Emancipation.
Rebecca Ketcham says I may tell you that John does notfeel settled she signified he felt as if he could hardly take hold inter--estedly and go on with his work she wished very much he could feelotherwis [sic] and as well satisfyed [sic] as she does but he cant [sic] give up lookingtowards your land thinks it would be better for the children but theirfriends think he ought to be satisfyed [sic] as he has obtained the place so cheapit appears that they might have got about 2000 more or some thinkso Dr Carle says he was prepared to give 7000 and there was several othersdepending on it You have no doubt been informed that Mary Hubbshas lost her husband and two children her remaining child I understandis very poorly as also her self.

(Page 1)<br /><br />[Text normal]<br />My dear Brother<br /> We yester ^day^ attended the funeral of cousin Amy <br />Titus who has for many months been very poorly and many<br />times thought to be near her end a large meeting at the<br />house, for the first time we heard cousin Anna W. not a<br />very energetic speaker but what she said was good, as she<br />took her seat Joshua Kimber rose said not a great deal but<br />spoke well next to him cam John Wood in a still ^of orthodoxy^ that<br />could not be mistaken, for Huldo Haag said she thought<br />he was sound on the atonement, she seemed quite disgust<br />ed with ^him for^ speaking in the way he did when so many of us were pres<br />ent he was on his feet three times and loud and long he<br />spoke, after him ^Aunt^ Phebe Rushmore, and last of all cousin Thomas<br />Rachel Hicks and all our folks [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">all</span>] silent, After Meeting<br />we went to brother Joseph’s and O how I missed mother<br />even more than I expected it seemed so desolate there<br />as I have hardly even been there before when she was not,<br />it seems as ^if^ there must yet be the place of attraction and<br />there the rallying point, Mother’s will which was written<br />soon after our dear sister’s death was unsealed opened<br />and read, Stephen Rushmore and Edmund being present<br />it is likely mother has told thee how she had disposed of<br />her property and that it will not be new to thee when I<br />tell thee she has given $500 to Stephen and Edmund Rush-<br />more and the residue ^of her estate^ to PP Willis, brother Joseph says she has<br />placed some money in his hands to be divided between him<br />self and thee, it was Mother’s desire that her will should<br />not be proved what dost thou say to it or what is thy judge<br />ment in the case Henry says the legacies will be paid[<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">t</span>]<br />without proving the will, Far very far pleasanter would<br />it have been to me if father had have given his property<br />in such way as that mother could in justice have di-<br />vided her property equally between her children how much<br />more satisfactory it would have been from begining [sic] to end<br />and I think now in justice that brother Joseph ought<br />to give all the [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">illegible</span>] money Mother has left in his hands to<br /><br />(Page 1)<br /><br />[Text sideways in top margin]<br />All well at<br />Brother Johns<br />mother and <br />Sister <br />Mary went<br />with is<br />to the<br />funeral <br />they stoped [sic] [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">t</span>]<br />at Aunt<br />Phebe <br />Powells<br />2<sup>nd</sup> day<br />morning<br />fine and bright<br />killing logs at<br />brother Johns<br />weathe [sic] cold<br />it is now<br />two weeks<br />since we<br />went though<br />with that<br />job it is<br />very pleasant<br />to have got<br />through with<br />it I suppose<br />you have some thing<br />of the kind<br />to go throu’<br />with at<br />your coun-<br />try seat<br />Catherines<br />eyes are so weak<br />that she <br />cannot<br />read at<br />all and<br />she now <br />sits with<br />a screne [sic] be<br />fore her to <br />not the light<br />of but the fire<br />he think if she foes to NYork change of air<br />bright [sic] be a benefit<br /><br />[Text upside-down]<br />how is Mary since<br />she got home<br />
(Page 2)<br /><br />thee and I hope he will have the magnanimity to do it<br />Mother has appointed Brother Joseph and Samuel Willis her<br />executors, Brother Joseph thinks it will not be necessary to<br />prove the will, Stephen Rushmore said he was entirely<br />satisfied with what they have that it was quite as much<br />as he expected. Poor cousin Mary Titus is in a tried<br />state of mind having heard her son Stephen is very ill<br />and his recovery doubted that the Drs have desided [sic] he has an<br />absess [sic] in his side which renders his case very critical<br />they wait anxiously to hear again it is now expected Elizabeth<br />Willets with her children will move over to her grandmothers<br />in the course of a few weeks. – I think Edmund must<br />have forgotten to tell us whether William and Mary had<br />got home or any thing relating to their visit in pennsylva<br />-nia I conclude they had been at home some time and<br />that he did not think but that we had heard of their<br />return, – – Joseph does not much like going to school but<br />I hope he will get along very well his health is very good<br />has not had even a cold since he has been here nor been<br />the least homesick but he does look with some [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">with some</span>]<br />interest towards that new farm particularly since he has<br />heard you were about moving on it; he said to me this<br />afternoon Aunt Phebe I think it is the best thing to keep<br />trying to improve, I do not think it is possible for a<br />boy to feel himself more at home than he does here every<br />way we have to speak and talk very plain to him some<br />times but he does not appear to love us any the less<br />on the contrary I have thought it appears to increas [sic]<br />his attachment, I hope the time past [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">has</span>] ^here^ may afford a<br />pleasant reflection in after life [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">she</span>] ^should^ he live to grow up<br />we took him with us yesterday in [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">order</span>] to make a visit<br />to his Aunt Elizabeth Mott he got in and went home <br />with his Uncles James he profess’d not to want to go but<br />we thought as there was no school it would be a good<br />time and we did not know when another opportunity would<br />occur, we came home before dark and his Uncle Henry had<br />him to drive I thought he seemed pleased with his visit
(Page 3)<br /><br />and asked him if he was not glad he went no he said he<br />wished he had staied [sic] at home. we wanted him to go to Meeting<br />today but he was so unwilling and we had him go yesterday<br />against his will we allowed him to stay; this afternoon<br />Isaac went to take Han Wrightour [matanmaker?] to Robert<br />Seamans and I went to cousin T Willis’s while they were<br />gone Joseph then wanted to go very much but I told<br />him as Samuel was from home and his Uncle Henry<br />was a lone I wanted him to stay to assist him he<br />insisted on it that Uncle Henry did not want him<br />he made me smile when he said we were so con<br />trary that when he did not want to ^go^ we made him<br />go and when he wanted to [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">stay and when he would</span>]<br />to go we would not let him, he is talking of writing<br />to you himself and I am in hopes he will soon do so<br />accounts from Anna Willis are more favourable but they<br />have no prospect of having her come home at present<br />she appears to be entirely satisfied with being there thinks<br />it best, We had a visit from Charles Post and wife with<br />her sister and his sister Maria Amelia seems like <br />an unassuming nice girl. Catharin [sic] has not been able<br />to go to meeting since Edmund was here or scarcely to<br />ride out at all but she feels as if she wanted go to<br />New York and try what a little change or air may do and<br />to see Mary Miller who has been so benefited by magnatism [sic] that<br />her powers of walking are restored, she must seem almost like a<br />new creture [sic] after being unable to walk for years.

<p>(Page 1)<br /><br /> Jericho 8<sup>th</sup> Mo 25<sup>th</sup> 1839<br /><br /> As Sarah has concluded to leave on 2<sup>nd</sup> day I thought<br /> I would write a line to my dear brother and sister while<br /> they are so sparing of their letters that if I were to judge by that I<br /> might suppose it would scarcely be acceptable. when I write to Edmund<br /> I often introduce subjects that I do not expect will interest him much<br /> or rather which appear not ^to^ by his making no replies to <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">or</span> remark<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">sing</span> on<br /> but I do not write solely with a view of amusing myself but with a wish<br /> to interchange sentiments by reciprocal and mutual correspondence. Sister<br /> Lydia desired me when I wrote to give a great deal of love to you and Edmund<br /> adding she had got so old she did not write in these days or now<br /> and I know not how soon I shall consider myself to have arived [sic] to that<br /> state I think perhaps she will feel less so after they get more settled --<br /> Matilda has been much engaged lately in asisting [sic] her sister Sarah<br /> for wedding which is now got throu [sic] with they were married last<br /> fourth day and went to Jacob’s home at Bay Side on 5<sup>th</sup> day Samu-<br /> -el and I attended the marriage (Willet Hicks was there and preached)<br /> which was consumated [sic] at the meeting house in the old way<br /> many of the large gathering no doubt came for the express purpose<br /> of witnessing a Quaker marriage Timothy Titus I thought spoke<br /> well as also did John Plummer Cousin [Tim?] Chapman was there<br /> and came home with us the next day at the close of our Mee-<br /> ting information was given that Phebe Townsend was deceased<br /> funeral to take place on 6<sup>th</sup> day meet at the meeting house at<br /> 12 and at her home at 11 OClock you had likely heard of her illness<br /> she has been sick all summer. Accompanied by Cousin Anna &<br /> Sister Mary W. Henry and I went to Westbury meeting but not to<br /> the house of the deseased [sic] spent the afternoon pleasantly at Isaac<br /> Hicks’ – Some time since I walked down to see Mothe[r?] and found<br /> I and P Haviland there after some conversation on other subjects<br /> Mother Said Phebe dont the [sic] remember we heard Hannah P.<br /> Whitson was satisfied with Priscilla Cadwalader on visiting<br /> her yes said I remember having heard so well said she James says<br /> it was not so she was not satisfied and dont thee know we heard<br /> of her telling how her husband abused her yes said I well said she<br /> James says it is thought not to be true but that she was un-<br /> der the opperation [sic] of some stimulous [sic] when she made such state-<br /> ments I then appealed to Phebe and Lydia who wer [sic] presen [sic] to know<br /> whether Aunt Phebe thought she made such mistakes when she <br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> was with her no said they Aunt Phebe had a very good opinion of her<br /> James then said I dont expect he could he could be call’d a kind husband &c<br /> &c but I do not know that I do right to tell you any thing of this for<br /> I should not [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">know</span>] want them to know that I had written any<br /> thing about it for but for Mother they would not have said any thing<br /> to me on the subje[ct?] John and Mary were not at home<br /> We understand George Trueman staid [sic] behind the other com-<br /> pany on a visit to T.M. Clintock did he stop at Rochester do you <br /> take the Liberator when I read interesting documents in it it seems<br /> pleasant to <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">to</span> suppose you enjoy the same and that Edmund also<br /> enjoys the same. but I believe Rachel Hicks has got almost beyond<br /> reading any thing not written by friends tho [sic] she still takes the<br /> Liberator through the medium of brother Joseph’s subscription<br /> On the subject of Slavery she appears to have taken a different<br /> position since her visit last Year, and I really do not know<br /> where or on what ground she does stand ^on that subject^ but she has become ex-<br /> ceedingly opposed to friends uniting with others. Lucretia writes<br /> that Lindly [Coats?] was at their house on his way to Albany (to<br /> attend the late Convention) and said Aunt Lydia and C.C.<br /> Burleigh dined at his house a few days before and [illegible] [Charels?]<br /> altogether he thought he was about the best Man he knew one <br /> who’s [sic] talents would ensure such success at the bar to give all up<br /> and be satisfied to wait on a humble Quaker preacher in her little one<br /> horse dearborn. In a letter from Edward Hopper he says Edward &<br /> Maria with their little Anna are well except the latters has been<br /> a little poorly and then adds “thou may imagine that it was delight-<br /> ful to us all to see them they are in a great hurry to get their house<br /> adjusted for Maria knows not at what hour the Son of Man (or<br /> daughter as it may be) cometh” he further says Mothers health<br /> has been better this Summer than last; tho [sic] by no means good.<br /> Mother Willis has been quite poorly some days passt [sic] but ^is^ now<br /> better she still prefers keeping house but is often from home<br /> at Westbury ^or^ at Wheatly tho [sic] she does not feel so much like<br /> being at Townsends as before they moved with the old people<br /> Amy has a hard time having been without help some time &<br /> I believe they find it difficult to keep help. It is concluded for<br /> Lydia Post and Esther Rushmore to go to Weston boarding [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">schoo</span>]<br /> school in tenth month. Robert Post has had a fit about<br /> a week since takin [sic] in the night you will likely recollect<br /> hearing of his having one once before I suppose simelar [sic] he is<br /> now said to be well but such turns seem rather alarming<br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> Edward Hopper writes – “John Scobb a man who was sent by the<br /> good people of England to the West Indies as an agent to investigate<br /> the practical working of immediate emancipation is now in our<br /> City – Hearing of the intention to hold an Antislavery convention<br /> in Albany he came from the W Indies to attend it – He has been<br /> here a day or two and will in a week or two take passage for<br /> England. Yesterday afternoon he met about 100 friends, or more<br /> at Cherry Street Meeting and gave us [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">a</span>] most cheering in-<br /> teltellegence [sic] respecting the results of emancipation – And last<br /> evening, Clarkson Hall was crowed [sic], he being there and en-<br /> tertaining the company most delightfully – these occasio^ns^ <br /> were free from the usual formalities of common lecturers, as<br /> as he desired every one of the company to put questions to him<br /> relative to the subject to which to which he made most co-<br /> pious and interesting replies” he has since sent us a paper<br /> containing some account of that at Clarkson Hall which I<br /> purpose sending for your perusaul [sic] having the title of<br /> “the world” – – Next week or a week from tomorrow which will<br /> be the first 2<sup>nd</sup> day in 9<sup>th</sup> Mo the Meeting for Suffering [obliterated]<br /> meet at 11 OClock our Antislavery meeting at 3 in Samu[el]<br /> Brown’s School room and the Indian committee at 7 in<br /> the evening the latter I have no doubt will be very inter<br /> esting but what there will be to make the Antislavery<br /> meeting interesting I do not now see Lucretia writes<br /> their friends society have prepared an address for us &<br /> that she hopes the corrispondance [sic] will be kept up but<br /> the aspect of affairs relating to that subject is so differen [sic] in<br /> Philadelphia from NYork in the latter the number is so<br /> very small and they very inefficient compared with that<br /> of the former where there ^are^ so many young people who have<br /> taken a such deep hold of the subject and besides their Yearly<br /> meetings committee have set out in earnest, the Address of<br /> the committee prepared by Dr Parrish is very good tho [sic] E [Hopp?]<br /> says the force and beauty are diminished by the alterations<br /> of the committee he says “many members however seem fear-<br /> ful and causious [sic] and a few (excuse my plain speech [sic]) seem<br /> to ‘<span style="text-decoration:underline;">possed</span> [sic] <span style="text-decoration:underline;">of the Devil</span>’ and are disposed to do every thing in<br /> their power to impede the progress of the cause but such will<br /><br /> (Page 4)<br /><br /> have to give way to the truth as the majority are determin<br /> ed to go ahead – and none more so than Dr Parrish him-<br /> self we have reason to think that the whole compass of our<br /> Yearly Meeting is awakening to the subject and that ere<br /> long we may hope for fruits” We have a copy of the report<br /> above alluded to which I have thought of sending for your<br /> perusal but thinking George Trueman may have [straid?]<br /> some amongst You I will keep it for the present<br /> NB much love to all with sincere affection I subscribe<br /> [bring?] the children with you PP Will<br /><br /> [[Text in center of page, running upward]<br /><br /> Isaac Post<br /> Rochester<br /> Monroe County<br /> NY<br /><br /> I regret having ^had^ so little of Sarah s company but she seems<br /> fixed on leaving us tomorrow morning she leaves I believe with<br /> a prospect of soon seeing you. and I am expecting so soon<br /> to see you that it seems scarcely worth while for me to<br /> write Catharin [sic] hopes Edmund will not come untill [sic] she<br /> gets home our school is very small and the Teacher now<br /> boards here has been to meeting to day and came home en-<br /> tirely satisfied with having had a silent Meeting altho [sic] at first<br /> it seemed so strange to her she appeard [sic] to think there was none<br /> to show us any good but her views appear to have undergone a change</p>

Isaac and L<br /> Rushmore with their invalid Edmund were here last 7<sup>th</sup> day I think he has<br /> improved some lately tho [sic] he is very little different from a year ago has been<br /> closely confined at home it was the first time he had been out or to any<br /> other house ^than there [sic] own^ for a long time – Catharin [sic] has a swelled foot and leg which<br /> appears to originate from a frosted heel her foot has been concerably [sic] inflamed <br /> and she has been unable to walk for more than a week and was compeld [sic]<br /> to be absent the last week of their school as it was then thought to be<br /> but they have since concluded to recommence and I suppose keep up<br /> the school another year Racher [sic] Welding [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">with</span>] will return after their<br /> yearly meeting according to present prospect she went or expected to<br /> last 2 day Samuel Smith was going to Carrolia [sic] and knowing she wants<br /> company ^to go on^ sent his brother Charles up on first day to go down with her<br /> it being the commensment [sic] of railroode [sic] traveling on first day which<br /> Anna Willis T’s daughter told me they had not intended to patronise <br /> Mary Willis has been several weeks at her fathers [sic] her health not admiting [sic] of [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">her</span>]<br /> steady application to business she has been here and dome some work for<br /> us seemed pleased with being here but declined going out much she<br /> is now better and her Sister Sarah has sent for her to return to<br /> Philadelphia saying she has taken a room in the expectation of taking [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">a<br /> the</span>] business on their own account and to keep house [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">she concludes to<br /> go shortly</span>] – I leave my writing untill [sic] our return – – – – – – – – –<br /> 4<sup>th</sup> day afternoon and 26<sup>th</sup> of the month being prepared for Quarterly<br /> meeting company I have sat down with my pen in hand in order to add<br /> to my stale scrall [sic] a few lines well according to our calculation we after<br /> meeting took the 2 O Clock car after dining at Robert Seamans got to N York<br /> so soon that we seemed to spend the afternoon there left NY at 7 00<br /> on 6<sup>th</sup> day morning in company with S. and R. Hicks Henry and Temperance<br /> Mott Valentine Hicks Phebe I Merritt and her daughter in law Mary Merritt<br /> N. and M. Brown together with many other passengers arived [sic] at the City of<br /> brotherly love a little after three on board were met by James Mott George<br /> Truman [Dilwin?] Parish and others James soon furnished a carriage in<br /> which were soon seated Sarah Hicks Rachel Temperance Mott and<br /> myself [men?] friends using their feet on reaching the destined spot by the<br /> window was siting [sic] and watching Anna [Coffin?] as fine looking as ever while<br /> at the door we were met by our dear Lucretia the expression of whose face I thoug^ht^<br /> never appeared more interesting but to see her look so much thiner [sic] in<br /> flesh is a subject of heartfelt regret we had not been many minutes in<br /> the house when Rachel Hicks remarked to me that it did one good to<br /> sit and look at her [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">not</span>] so much was she interested on being a short time<br /> with her, on getting there we found they had made arangements [sic] for lodging<br /> our said company Edward and Maria Davis lodged ove [sic] the way to Edward [Hoppers?]<br /> on 7<sup>th</sup> day while the select members went to meeting we went to see our<br /> cousin Chapman, dined with Elwood with whom his mother boards<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> and in a wife I think he has quite a prise [sic] besides his book bind-<br /> ing business he has a little book store next door to Cherry St Meeting<br /> house which his mother cousin Anna attends I hope and thought<br /> it appears as if they would succeed in business well cousin Anna<br /> acompanied [sic] us to her son Edwards to tea his wife is Jacob<br /> Lafetra’s daughter and a more suitable person I think he could not<br /> have found his health is delicate and she is so admirably ^disposed^ to meet their<br /> circumstances by doing their work without help and in every way so cheer-<br /> ful, On first day morning went to Cherry street meeting very full house many<br /> could not get seats several communications nothing extraordinary that I remember<br /> previous to going to meeting in the morning we had a visit from and<br /> the privelage [sic] of being introduced to Charles C Burleigh the admirable<br /> antislavery lecturer of whom you have no doubt seen honorable mention<br /> made in Lundy’s paper he attended both morning and afternoon Mg<br /> at Cherry St as also James Miller [Makim?] Lucretia’s apostate convert<br /> he is an interesting young man we all went to Spruce street in the<br /> afternoon and to Thomas[Erls?] to tea, on 2 day commensed [sic] the business of<br /> the Yearly Meeting which was transacted in a ^way^ not differing much from that of N York<br /> except that more deliberation or [slowness?] marks allmost [sic] all of their move<br /> -ments they appointed a committee on Indian concerns and also one to take<br /> the subject of Slavery into consideration the conclusion of which result-<br /> ed in the formation of the following minute “Having deliberating on the<br /> interesting subject of Slavery the committee are free to propose that the Yearly Mg<br /> recommend to our members to imbrace [sic] every right opportunity to maintain & ex-<br /> -alt our rigteous [sic] testimon [sic] against slavery and where any of our members<br /> feel any religious scruples as to the use of the products of slave labour that<br /> they faithfully attend thereto and also that the attention of friends be di-<br /> -rected to the education and morral [sic] improvement of the people of colour<br /> in the severa [sic] neighbourhoods” I in company with Rachel Hicks sat<br /> with the committee and heard remark made in relation to the ^formation of the^ foregoing<br /> minute, when ^one^ would rise with saying he should like to have something<br /> introduced in relation to keeping out of the mixture [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">about</span>] several would rise<br /> with the expression of I am satisfyed [sic] with it as it ^is^ which several times<br /> occured [sic] after a number of cautions had been given in relation to friends mingling<br /> with others Lindly Coats who was acting in part as Clerk and who is an<br /> active member of the abolition Society arose and said he thought it was<br /> well for friends to give caution caution could never do harm but with<br /> a countinan [countenance?] marked with a strate [sic] forward determination to persevere in<br /> the line that seemed good unto him, Rachel Hicks said it did her good to sit <br /> and look at him she also made soom [sic] good remarks (but not on the subje-<br /> -ct of mingling.) as also in the Indian committee where we also attended<br /> George Trueman [sic] tho [sic] not one of the committee came and opened the subject in<br /> a most feeling and interesting manner, they appointed a sub committee<br /> in order to obtain information and report next year it was very trying<br /> to some that no assistants [sic] could be furnished sooner and differen [sic] propo<br /> sitions were made Doctor Parrish proposed taking some of what they had on<br /> hand which was objected to he then proposed makeing [sic] a collection which <br /> friends were so many together but nothing would do on the part of Samuel<br /> Cornfort but next Year’s report, the meeting did not close untill [sic]<br /> seventh day near 1 O Clock Sarah Hicks, H. and T Mott left Philadelp [sic]<br /> on 7 day morning we concluded to stay with Rachel until [sic] the meeting <br /> closed and come on first day but findin [sic] <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">it</span> we should have to pay $2<br /> [xxxxx] a peace [sic] more we concluded to wait until [sic] 2<sup>nd</sup> day as we could get<br /> home the same day were again met on board the boat by N. and Margaret<br /> Brown Phebe I Merritt and several others who had been on to attend that [Year?]<br /> besides a very learge [sic] number of others when we got to New York we passed through <br /> to the south ferry and there heard of the death of your Aunt Hannah<br /> Willets and Maria Haviland the funeral of the former to take place on 3<sup>rd</sup><br /> day morning and that of the latter in the afterno [sic] both of which we<br /> got home in time to attend as it is likely you have been informed particu<br /> -lar in relation to the illness of both I need not repeat it and probably could<br /> not as well as those from whom you have likely received the account.<br /> N. and Margaret Brown and Phebe I Merrit [sic] and Richard and Deborah Field <br /> came on the rail road [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">and</span>] in time to attend Maria’s funeral the next day<br /> attend Westbury Monthly Meeting and on 5<sup>th</sup> day Jerich [sic] Monthly<br /> meeting held at Bethpage they that is N. and M Brown then commenced <br /> visiting families in that neighbor hood [sic] and got through there and<br /> Jerusalem before Quarterly meeting after which they that is after meeting on<br /> 6<sup>th</sup> day went to Isaac Rushmores commened that afternoon visiting fam<br /> -ilies conducted by Isaac Rushmore as they prefer taking families alone <br /> it is understood those who accompany them do not sit with them. – – <br /> 5<sup>th</sup> Month 8<sup>th</sup> We yesterday attended the funeral of Jane Horton only sick<br /> about one day and night it being first day was a pretty large meeting<br /> Timothy Titus held fourth [sic] in the afternoon we attended a meeting at<br /><br /> (Page 3)<br /><br /> Oister [sic] Bay appointed by N and M Brown Satisfactory I believe they<br /> have got through with visiting the families of Jericho and are now<br /> engaged in the neighbourbood of Matinecock they are to attend low<br /> Neck on fifth day previous to which I think they will have got<br /> through with visiting the families of that meeting then comes<br /> Flushing tho [sic] they have attended that monthly Meeting and had<br /> not desided [sic] whether they should visit the [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">n</span>]families there or not<br /> yesterday when we parted with them N[<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">s</span>] said they had not fully<br /> desided [sic] whether they should go to Nantucet [sic] but Margaret said she<br /> saw nothing else for them and that Henry and I must or [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">would hav</span>]<br /> would have to go with them. Catharine has been to New York and<br /> [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">stood</span>?] a chance for the measles but she wishes very much to begin<br /> school when it opens again R. Welding has been several weeks<br /> in Philadelphia and is ^to^ return in about a week when she will<br /> as is now expected recommens [sic] her school and Catharine has<br /> just been saying she thinks you had best to bring Mary and<br /> place her there should you conclude to do so it will be best<br /> to write ^soon^ to that effect in order that a place may be reserve [sic]<br /> for her. – As to Edmund Rushmore I hardly know what to say, has<br /> not been so well some little time back ^took cold^ but they think him<br /> gaining again he looks [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">less</span>] altogether less than he has done but<br /> I don’t know but more natural he [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">looks</span>] ^is^ narrow across his sholders [sic]<br /> and his hands look sick but his mother appears to think him gaining and<br /> she knows best as she is so watchful.. Stephan continues his visits<br /> to Matilda and it is expect [sic] they are engaged to be married<br /> but I think they will not be married untill [sic] fall. Your little<br /> Jacob goes to school to Jericho, I am thinking I may possibly be the<br /> bearer of the first intiligence [sic] that Your Sister Elizabeth has a son<br /> and is as well as can be expected your mother told me yesterday that<br /> she had not seen her since but Sarah has been staying with<br /> her some time and she had been lately – Catharine’s foot has got<br /> well; Samuel not having received any encouragmen [sic] from<br /> his father in relation to his Western visit conclude to <br /> wait and go with you when he feels now as if he should<br /> certainly go I do not find that any of our friends are like<br /> -ly to visit you previous to your visit here, Mother is<br /> so bound at home that she can scarcely come here Mary<br /> is expecting to be sick I suppose every day if she is not<br /> now but she was well when we heard last.<br /> Aunt Sarah has been several weeks at her son<br /> Henry’s thinking the air less damp and more pure than<br /> at home gained nicely for some time at first but took<br /> cold and again has got on the back ground but was again<br /> recruiting [sic] when I heard last I have not seen her since our<br /> return from Philadelphia Uncle John has been for<br /> Robert and he is now at home I expect I have just<br /> seen him once he did not appear any better whether he<br /> has improved any I do not know but understood there<br /> was not much change, – Mary W has had a cold several weeks<br /> that has mad [sic] her quite poorly but she went to Bethpage to<br /> Monthly and to Joseph Hortons yester [sic] but she did not get<br /> to Quarterly Meeting her little Lucretia is a bright lovely<br /> babe – I suppose the Jones will is about being tryed [sic] now<br /> David Hetcham and Martha have taken Abigail’s part for<br /> the present year and have moved in a part of the house<br /> while she occupies the other under J K’s managment [sic] –<br /><br /> (Page 4)<br /><br /> [Text upside-down on bottom of page]<br /><br /> How is it that you tell us nothing about Abolition move-<br /> ments in Rochester. I should scarcely suppose you were<br /> members of that Society by you [sic] silence on that subject<br /> [Sara?] Hicks told sister Lydia that Robbert [sic] Hicks told<br /> her she must tell Lucretia she must give up her<br /> abolition connection with others and that she tried<br /> to get Rachel to do it for ^her^ that is tell Lucretia the mess<br /> age but when Rachel declined she told her to get me to do<br /> it R told her that was off no use for Phebe was as bad as<br /> Lucretia which I suppose made her quite uneasy about<br /> me for she expressed her concern to sister Lydia<br /> Tomorrow you doubtless know is the great Abolition meeting<br /> in New York I [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">have</span>] have thought I should like to attend more<br /><br /> [Continues at the top of page, beginning “to hear Charles Burleigh”]<br /><br /> to hear Charles C Burleigh having had a little opportunity<br /> of hearing him in Philadelphia and becoming so much inter-<br /> ested with him I have not half time or room to tell you<br /> of the controversy between him and Doctor Gibons [sic] who<br /> came to James Mott s to express his concern to Lucretia<br /> for joining with others how admirable Charles was in<br /> argument at the same time so simple and [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">eas</span>] read [sic]<br /> to meet every objection. We also heard him in controversy<br /> with a man on the subject of whether man cold [sic] hold<br /> property in man to understand how wonderful he is<br /> with all his simplicity you must hear him<br /> We had opportunt [sic] at James Motts of becoming acquainted with<br /> Edward More he is I think an uncommon youn[g] man so plain<br /> and unassuming and acessible [sic] so [sensible?] [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">and acessible</span>[sic]] do get<br /> acquainted with him when he goes to Rochester PPW<br /><br /> [Text continues in the middle of the right-hand margin, written downward.] <br /><br /> Sarah and Mary Willis are nicely sit<br /> uated in Philadelphia [having? taken?] the<br /> business on their own account have<br /> plenty of work and [4?] girls to work with<br /> them<br /><br /> [Address in middle of page, written upward]<br /><br /> Isaac Post<br /> Rochester<br /> Monroe Co NY<br /><br /></p>

morning and that of the latter in the afterno [sic] both of which we got home in time to attend as it is likely you have been informed particu -lar in relation to the illness of both I need not repeat it and probably could not as well as those from whom you have likely received the account. N. and Margaret Brown and Phebe I Merrit [sic] and Richard and Deborah Field came on the rail road [and] in time to attend Maria's funeral the next day attend Westbury Monthly Meeting and on 5th day Jerich [sic] Monthly meeting held at Bethpage they that is N. and M Brown then commenced visiting families in that neighbor hood [sic] and got through there and Jerusalem before Quarterly meeting after which they that is after meeting on 6th day went to Isaac Rushmores commened that afternoon visiting fam -ilies conducted by Isaac Rushmore as they prefer taking families alone it is understood those who accompany them do not sit with them. - - 5th Month 8th We yesterday attended the funeral of Jane Horton only sick about one day and night it being first day was a pretty large meeting Timothy Titus held fourth [sic] in the afternoon we attended a meeting at Oister [sic] Bay appointed by N and M Brown Satisfactory I believe they have got through with visiting the families of Jericho and are now engaged in the neighbourbood of Matinecock they are to attend low Neck on fifth day previous to which I think they will have got through with visiting the families of that meeting then comes Flushing tho [sic] they have attended that monthly Meeting and had not desided [sic] whether they should visit the [n]families there or not yesterday when we parted with them N[s] said they had not fully desided [sic] whether they should go to Nantucet [sic] but Margaret said she saw nothing else for them and that Henry and I must or [would hav] would have to go with them. Catharine has been to New York and [stood?] a chance for the measles but she wishes very much to begin school when it opens again R. Welding has been several weeks in Philadelphia and is ^to^ return in about a week when she will as is now expected recommens [sic] her school and Catharine has just been saying she thinks you had best to bring Mary and place her there should you conclude to do so it will be best to write ^soon^ to that effect in order that a place may be reserve [sic] for her. - As to Edmund Rushmore I hardly know what to say, has not been so well some little time back ^took cold^ but they think him gaining again he looks [less] altogether less than he has done but I don't know but more natural he [looks] ^is^ narrow across his sholders [sic] and his hands look sick but his mother appears to think him gaining and she knows best as she is so watchful.. Stephan continues his visits to Matilda and it is expect [sic] they are engaged to be married but I think they will not be married untill [sic] fall. Your little Jacob goes to school to Jericho, I am thinking I may possibly be the bearer of the first intiligence [sic] that Your Sister Elizabeth has a son and is as well as can be expected your mother told me yesterday that she had not seen her since but Sarah has been staying with her some time and she had been lately - Catharine's foot has got well; Samuel not having received any encouragmen [sic] from his father in relation to his Western visit conclude to wait and go with you when he feels now as if he should certainly go I do not find that any of our friends are like -ly to visit you previous to your visit here, Mother is so bound at home that she can scarcely come here Mary is expecting to be sick I suppose every day if she is not now but she was well when we heard last. Aunt Sarah has been several weeks at her son Henry's thinking the air less damp and more pure than at home gained nicely for some time at first but took cold and again has got on the back ground but was again recruiting [sic] when I heard last I have not seen her since our return from Philadelphia Uncle John has been for Robert and he is now at home I expect I have just seen him once he did not appear any better whether he has improved any I do not know but understood there was not much change, - Mary W has had a cold several weeks that has mad [sic] her quite poorly but she went to Bethpage to Monthly and to Joseph Hortons yester [sic] but she did not get to Quarterly Meeting her little Lucretia is a bright lovely babe - I suppose the Jones will is about being tryed [sic] now David Hetcham and Martha have taken Abigail's part for the present year and have moved in a part of the house while she occupies the other under J K's managment [sic] - [Text upside-down on bottom of page] How is it that you tell us nothing about Abolition move- ments in Rochester. I should scarcely suppose you were members of that Society by you [sic] silence on that subject [Sara?] Hicks told sister Lydia that Robbert [sic] Hicks told her she must tell Lucretia she must give up her abolition connection with others and that she tried to get Rachel to do it for ^her^ that is tell Lucretia the mess age but when Rachel declined she told her to get me to do it R told her that was off no use for Phebe was as bad as Lucretia which I suppose made her quite uneasy about me for she expressed her concern to sister Lydia Tomorrow you doubtless know is the great Abolition meeting in New York I [have] have thought I should like to attend more [Continues at the top of page, beginning "to hear Charles Burleigh"] to hear Charles C Burleigh having had a little opportunity of hearing him in Philadelphia and becoming so much inter- ested with him I have not half time or room to tell you of the controversy between him and Doctor Gibons [sic] who came to James Mott s to express his concern to Lucretia for joining with others how admirable Charles was in argument at the same time so simple and [eas] read [sic] to meet every objection. We also heard him in controversy with a man on the subject of whether man cold [sic] hold property in man to understand how wonderful he is with all his simplicity you must hear him We had opportunt [sic] at James Motts of becoming acquainted with Edward More he is I think an uncommon youn[g] man so plain and unassuming and acessible [sic] so [sensible?] [and acessible[sic]] do get acquainted with him when he goes to Rochester PPW [Text continues in the middle of the right-hand margin, written downward.] Sarah and Mary Willis are nicely sit uated in Philadelphia [having? taken?] the business on their own account have plenty of work and [4?] girls to work with them [Address in middle of page, written upward] Isaac Post Rochester Monroe Co NY

Our Westbury friends I cant [sic] tell much about it [it] is likely they know of this opportun^ity^ and will write Maria was expected at her Fathers about this time and [obliterated] may be there now --- I want to see her very much hope she will make us a visit and Oh what a feast it would be if we could have a visit from [obliterated] ^you^ and are we realy [sic] so circumstanced that it will not do to even think of such a thing this live long winter Amy we are [ay] dayly [sic] expecting to see we or I regret her having left you if she has and long to see her. [dear] Sister Lydia has had her recovery very much retarded by two gatherings but I hope she is now gaining Townsend told me first day that she had road [sic] out he did not think she went to any hous [sic] T.R's visits are so frequent that I am rather inclined to think a marriage will take place before long Sister A. spent a week in New York lately I want to say to sister [H.?] that things unexpected sometimes take place I rather think that Uncle Rushmore folks are made whole Joshua Thompson spoken of in a former ^letter^ is Teaching School at Flushing near Uncle H. Lawrence's Mary Titus Jonathan's Wife was buried 6th day Quarterly Meeting time Daniel Titus and his wife returned from Flushing fourth day evening I heard Father Post say [he] after meeting 5th day that he wished Daniel Titus had have beene [sic] there [of] consequently there was a cause Rebeccah Ketcham has a young son to whome [sic] they have given the name of Isaac Abraham Hicks's little Gideon was buried about two weeks ago; in a silent opportunity at the house before the funeral I understood that Rachel said [he] she feelt [sic] bound to say the Lord hath given and the Lord hath taken away Blessed be the name of the Lord; she has a young son about 2 weeks old expressing herself in such a way evinced that she feelt [sic] a state of resignation very desirable at a/season so trying As strange as it may seem to you I have not seen W Hicks since he return'd [sic] I have not been very well reconcil'd [sic] to its being so but he has not been here and we have not been there how far he became attached to A.K. I know not but so kind was he that he visited her Fathers the next evening after his return I very much regretted not seeing Cousin Jacob Willets pleas [sic] tell him when you have an opportunity that [I] it gave an [sho] unpleasant shock to my feeling when I heard that he had realy [sic] been in - our neighbourhood and had taken no steep [sic] to wards [sic] visiting our dwelling and had to conclude as much as I wished to see him that the desire was not reciprocated H. finished gathering corn last seventh day later than usual had more than usual but con- siderable of it much hurt with the frost I believe many are not yet done.

<br /> was so excellent that I thought the last [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">illegible</span>] was the best wine concluding in a very<br /> solemn manner with this languag [sic] the Lord be with you and I feel that the respons<br /> =ive language of your hearts is the Lord bless thee; After meeting we went to Thomas<br /> Macy dined and took leave of our very kind friends on Nantucket and left the war[illegible]<br /> about 2 O Clock a meeting having been appointed in the unitarian meeting<br /> house at half past seven o clock about which time we get to William Rotchss his<br /> Carriage being in waiting at the way their tea table was spread and as I had been<br /> to [sic] sick to drink tea on board the boat I was prepared to partake Cousin Samuel O<br /> Lucretia took tea on board in consequence of which L. was so sick that we feared<br /> for the meeting with anxiety she howeve [sic] took some straw berrys [sic] and soon felt better<br /> when we slept in the carriag [sic] with William Rotch and were soon seated with<br /> him in the pulpet [sic] an awkward place I thought the carriage then returned for<br /> his wife and daughter Mary Fleming the meeting was pretty large and Lucretia<br /> stood near an hour and a half Lydia Rotch said she could discover no stoping [sic] place<br /> untill [sic] I concluded. On 6<sup>th</sup> day morning in the feelings ^of [philanthrophy?] [sic]^ that so conspicuously<br /> mark her [present?] carracter [sic] Lydia Rotch took us to see Mary and Unice Coffin two<br /> sisters who have been long confined by sickness tho [sic] Mary is now so that she goes out<br /> Lucretia communicated to them the language of encouragment [sic] so sweetly that their feelin<br /> -gs of gratitude ^for the visit^ could scarcely be surpass’d [sic] we then went to Andrew Robinsons to<br /> dine his wife is Samuel Rodman’s daughter, about four O Clock Lydia Rotch call’d [sic]<br /> with her Carriage and took us to James Arnold’s whose wife is W. Rotch.s daughter<br /> Lucretia had express’d [sic] a wish to go there and was favoured to communicat [sic] very<br /> suitably I thought to them, A meeting was appointed at half past seven the [son?]<br /> evening at. [Fore?] Haven which is opasite [sic] New Bedfor and we cross’d a very long bridge<br /> in going it was held in a house called the Cristean meeting house the people were call’d<br /> by the ringing of a bell as was the case the previous evening altho [sic] it rained the<br /> meeting was pretty large and I believe altogether [satisfacton?] [sic] to the poeple [sic] who<br /> seemed much interested; Seventh day morning we call’d at Samuel Rodmans he<br /> retains the appearance of a gentleman tho [sic] his mind remans [sic] impared [sic] his<br /> wife tho [sic] feeble retains her excellencies [sic] Lucretia suggested to her the propriety<br /> of meeting in conference she signified she did not know what good could arise <br /> from it that she was almost to [sic] feeble to go out but was willing to take any right<br /> step we were somewhat discouraged but left it to the further consideration of<br /> those who were disposed to favour thus convening for Lucretia had been indefat<br /> -igable in modestly suggesting the subject through repeated discouragments [sic] and<br /> [eJ?] [Ao. ?] endeavour’d [sic] to do what I could towards promoting the object in view. In the after<br /> -noon Lydia Rotch went with us to Fall River to attend a meeting there in the<br /> evening Andrew Roberson having having previously been and made arangment [sic]<br /> we went im[illegible] to Mica Rugges who was himself not at home his wife Ly-<br /> -dia howeve [sic] gave us a kind welcome had her tea table spread she prepared and went <br /> readily to meeting with us but having adapted [Swedonborgom?] views she could<br /> not at all unite with Lucretias doctrine at which I was much surprised for I though<br /> I never heard her more excellent, about seven o clock on first day morning<br /> we rode back to New Bedford and got there just in time to attend the Seamans meeting<br /> arangments [sic] having been made on seventh day their service being willing-<br /> -ly dispensed with they were told that the meeting would be conducted in the <br /> order of friends a very respectable company convened and a satisfactory opportu<br /> -nity was the result, we dined at James Arnolds his wife having invited us the day<br /> before to come and take a family dinner with them she also invited her father who with<br /> his wife and daughter Mary Fleming likewise went at 5 O Clock they accompanied us to the<br /> African Bethel as it is call’d their minister express’d his satisfaction with Lucretias <br /> communication to her in high [terms?] of aprobation [sic], at half past 6 a meetin [sic] was aga<br /> =in convened in the unitarion [sic] house much larger than before and I believe<br /> the people were generaly [sic] well satisfied but Lucretia is so much like Elias in her com<br /> -mncation [sic] that I thought it would not be at all strong if she sometimes gave [offom<br /> gat?] [sic] after giving her own clear views which lead out of every substitute for substance<br /> she freely awards to every one the liberty of thinking and desiding [sic] for himself and rem-<br /> -aining in his forms untill [sic] he sees his way out of them. On our return from Fall<br /> River William Rotch said they had not been able to make arangments [sic] for meet-<br /> ing in Conference on that day but if it still appeared best Sister Rodman’s<br /> large parlor would be put in order and friends invited to meet at 9-O Clock<br /> on 2<sup>nd</sup> day morning we quickly assented not withstanding it would [vication?] [sic] anothe [sic]<br /> days stay in New Bedford it however gave us an opportunity to visit Elizabeth<br /> Rodman and to call to see Samuel and Hannah Rodman and some others<br /> after the company had convened and a time of silence Lucretia remarked that<br /> she had hoped the responsibility of this conference would rest on others that in<br /> opening the subject she wished to be understood as having no desire to [unsettle?]<br /> those who were satisfied in attending the meeting of ^friends in^ that place nor any more<br /> those who felt themselves benefited [instituted?] at the other meeting but<br /> for the few among them who were not easy to go to either of these and who<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">were not </span>for themselves and their families felt a wish to have an opportunity at<br /> times to mingle with those with whome [sic] they could assimilate in feeling and views –<br /> for these the desire was that they might be encouraged therein by the fathers and<br /> mothers among them who for themselves might have attained to the state<br /> John the Divine saw in his visions in his view of the City where the<br /> Lord God and the Lamb was the Temple there of yet that these in condense[illegible]<br /> =ion to the stake of others, as Jesus when submiting [sic] to to the right of baptism<br /> might suffer it to be so now that the countenance and encouragment [sic] of such as<br /> through evil report and good report through wantings and aboundings had maintain<br /> -ed their allegiance to their God and could say Lord I have loved the habitation of [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">thine</span> ?]<br /> thine house and the place where thine honour dwelleth – that the weight of the <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">sp<br /></span>spirrets [sic] of these (to use our tecknical [sic] language) even tho [sic] a word might not be<br /> spoken would be strength to the weak among them and they would’ still<br /> have to whitness [sic] that were two or three were gathered in his [name?] he would be<br /> found to be in the midst of them and as they were faithful herein these [meeting?]<br /> would be attractive to many” After expressing the above sentiments with consider-<br /> able ^more^ that seemed remarkably applicable silence for a short time ensued yes<br /><br /> [Text in center of page, written downward]<br /> Isaac Post<br /> Ledyard<br /> Cayuga County<br /> Aurora Post Office<br /> N Y<br /><br /> [Text in left margin, written downward]<br /><br /> will you see my paper is nearly full and my story [or?]<br /> history is not ended and if I knew of a privat [sic] conveyance <br /> should take another [sic] sheat [sic] and go on I want very much<br /> to hear from Uncle Henry’s famely [sic] if Aunt ^[Mary]^ could have<br /> known what a subject of regret their leaveing [sic] without<br /> my hearing ^he [an?]^ that they had the thought ^has been to me^ I think she would<br /> have written to me and at least given me “opportunity to visit<br /> them but I hope to see them some day not for distant.

On 6th day morning in the feelings ^of [philanthrophy?] [sic]^ that so conspicuously mark her [present?] carracter [sic] Lydia Rotch took us to see Mary and Unice Coffin two sisters who have been long confined by sickness tho [sic] Mary is now so that she goes out Lucretia communicated to them the language of encouragment [sic] so sweetly that their feelin -gs of gratitude ^for the visit^ could scarcely be surpass'd [sic] we then went to Andrew Robinsons to dine his wife is Samuel Rodman's daughter, about four O Clock Lydia Rotch call'd [sic] with her Carriage and took us to James Arnold's whose wife is W. Rotch.s daughter Lucretia had express'd [sic] a wish to go there and was favoured to communicat [sic] very suitably I thought to them, A meeting was appointed at half past seven the [son?] evening at. [Fore?] Haven which is opasite [sic] New Bedfor and we cross'd a very long bridge in going it was held in a house called the Cristean meeting house the people were call'd by the ringing of a bell as was the case the previous evening altho [sic] it rained the meeting was pretty large and I believe altogether [satisfacton?] [sic] to the poeple [sic] who seemed much interested; Seventh day morning we call'd at Samuel Rodmans he retains the appearance of a gentleman tho [sic] his mind remans [sic] impared [sic] his wife tho [sic] feeble retains her excellencies [sic] Lucretia suggested to her the propriety of meeting in conference she signified she did not know what good could arise from it that she was almost to [sic] feeble to go out but was willing to take any right step we were somewhat discouraged but left it to the further consideration of those who were disposed to favour thus convening for Lucretia had been indefat -igable in modestly suggesting the subject through repeated discouragments [sic] and [eJ?] [Ao. ?] endeavour'd [sic] to do what I could towards promoting the object in view. In the after -noon Lydia Rotch went with us to Fall River to attend a meeting there in the evening Andrew Roberson having having previously been and made arangment [sic] we went im[illegible] to Mica Rugges who was himself not at home his wife Ly- -dia howeve [sic] gave us a kind welcome had her tea table spread she prepared and went readily to meeting with us but having adapted [Swedonborgom?] views she could not at all unite with Lucretias doctrine at which I was much surprised for I though I never heard her more excellent, about seven o clock on first day morning we rode back to New Bedford and got there just in time to attend the Seamans meeting arangments [sic] having been made on seventh day their service being willing- -ly dispensed with they were told that the meeting would be conducted in the order of friends a very respectable company convened and a satisfactory opportu -nity was the result, we dined at James Arnolds his wife having invited us the day before to come and take a family dinner with them she also invited her father who with his wife and daughter Mary Fleming likewise went at 5 O Clock they accompanied us to the African Bethel as it is call'd their minister express'd his satisfaction with Lucretias communication to her in high [terms?] of aprobation [sic], at half past 6 a meetin [sic] was aga =in convened in the unitarion [sic] house much larger than before and I believe the people were generaly [sic] well satisfied but Lucretia is so much like Elias in her com -mncation [sic] that I thought it would not be at all strong if she sometimes gave [offom gat?] [sic] after giving her own clear views which lead out of every substitute for substance she freely awards to every one the liberty of thinking and desiding [sic] for himself and rem- -aining in his forms untill [sic] he sees his way out of them. On our return from Fall River William Rotch said they had not been able to make arangments [sic] for meet- ing in Conference on that day but if it still appeared best Sister Rodman's large parlor would be put in order and friends invited to meet at 9-O Clock on 2nd day morning we quickly assented not withstanding it would [vication?] [sic] anothe [sic] days stay in New Bedford it however gave us an opportunity to visit Elizabeth Rodman and to call to see Samuel and Hannah Rodman and some others after the company had convened and a time of silence Lucretia remarked that she had hoped the responsibility of this conference would rest on others that in opening the subject she wished to be understood as having no desire to [unsettle?] those who were satisfied in attending the meeting of ^friends in^ that place nor any more those who felt themselves benefited [instituted?] at the other meeting but for the few among them who were not easy to go to either of these and whowere not for themselves and their families felt a wish to have an opportunity at times to mingle with those with whome [sic] they could assimilate in feeling and views - for these the desire was that they might be encouraged therein by the fathers and mothers among them who for themselves might have attained to the state John the Divine saw in his visions in his view of the City where the Lord God and the Lamb was the Temple there of yet that these in condense[illegible] =ion to the stake of others, as Jesus when submiting [sic] to to the right of baptism might suffer it to be so now that the countenance and encouragment [sic] of such as through evil report and good report through wantings and aboundings had maintain -ed their allegiance to their God and could say Lord I have loved the habitation of [thine ?] thine house and the place where thine honour dwelleth - that the weight of the spspirrets [sic] of these (to use our tecknical [sic] language) even tho [sic] a word might not be spoken would be strength to the weak among them and they would' still have to whitness [sic] that were two or three were gathered in his [name?] he would be found to be in the midst of them and as they were faithful herein these [meeting?] would be attractive to many" After expressing the above sentiments with consider- able ^more^ that seemed remarkably applicable silence for a short time ensued yes [Text in center of page, written downward] Isaac Post Ledyard Cayuga County Aurora Post Office N Y [Text in left margin, written downward] will you see my paper is nearly full and my story [or?] history is not ended and if I knew of a privat [sic] conveyance should take another [sic] sheat [sic] and go on I want very much to hear from Uncle Henry's famely [sic] if Aunt ^[Mary]^ could have known what a subject of regret their leaveing [sic] without my hearing ^he [an?]^ that they had the thought ^has been to me^ I think she would have written to me and at least given me "opportunity to visit them but I hope to see them some day not for distant.

Kirby some<br /> time ago but did not send it I often think of her and<br /> should be very glad to see her Brother Joseph<br /> spent the two last nights with us came seventh day<br /> afternoon and went away this morning he wants to<br /> go to Scipio again he says he has to work so hard he is<br /> a good mind to run of [sic] but I tell him it will not do <br /> for him to think of that he says he heard Samuel<br /> Searing ask Brother Edmund to go and buy John out<br /> he replied that he would change with him.<br /> about a week since Sister Lydia with her husband<br /> and children payed [sic] us a visit she is still feeble had not<br /> been able to go to meeting in several weeks untill [sic] last<br /> first day She being here attended Jericho Meeting<br /> a little fatigue causes beating and trembling which<br /> is an indication of weakness. I think Jims coming<br /> back has in part removed unpleasant impressions as<br /> Isaac seems suited with haveing [sic] him home gaain [sic]<br /> tho I believe he dose [sic] not quite forget that he felt<br /> the want of him while he was absent. You have<br /> doubtless heard that Jonathan Titus had moved and<br /> taken his home at Daniel Titus’s he was buried a <br /> week last sixth day at Westbury. Sister Amy<br /> is now at her Fathers and has been two or three<br /> weeks passt [sic] Sarah Pearsall too is there on a visit<br /> Aunt [T?] Powell is also there who we expect here to <br /> morrow. Uncle Gilbert and Aunt Esther were here last<br /> week made a numbe [sic] of visits to thy fathers among the<br /> rest Aunt Amy has not been to Jericho since her<br /> husband’s death. William Seaman has been up on<br /> a visit about a week who with Joshua Thompson<br /> Amy Kirby and I think likely L Seaman (tho I did not<br /> hear) went to Flushing on seventh day and returned<br /> yesterday a sudden change in the weather took place<br /> seventh day night from very moderate ra^i^ny weather<br /> a cold snowstorm came on tho there has not a great<br /> deal of snow fallen it was very tedious being out first<br /> day as the snow blew very much it now seems<br /><br /> (Page 2)<br /><br /> like winter which we have had very little of yet<br /> we think we have got a good School you have likely<br /> heard that J Thompson is teacher Samuel has three<br /> tasks to get in one evening geography arithmetic<br /> and deffinitions [sic] and I suppose will shortly have gram-<br /> mer he says he has almost forgot how Aunt Hannah<br /> looks but he remembers how Uncle Isaac looks Catharine<br /> loves to talk about Aunt Hannah as well as any of <br /> them. It is two weeks this day since E Hicks and<br /> company got home father and mother arived [sic] the seventh<br /> day evening before they seem suited with having<br /> been the journey they say in Baltimore there was<br /> no opposition that unity and harmony prevailed<br /> throuought [sic] the Yearly Meeting. commotion<br /> still lives in Philadelphia tho E has very many<br /> warmly attached friends yet the spirit Opposition<br /> prevails in some individuals as strongly as ever<br /> while they were in Philadelphia report said there<br /> was a letter from E Hicks to Thomas Willis <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">which</span><br /> gone to the p^r^ess which report also reach’d [sic] our<br /> ears but we were slow to believe thinking cousin<br /> T would not through his means cause ^a [contraverse [sic]^ <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">such a</span><br /><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">thing </span>to be printed we have seen the letter dated<br /> 10<sup>th</sup> mo 1822 to which is added a long review said to<br /> be written by an epis^c^opal clergyman I think<br /> when friends have to resort to such ^means for^ assistance they<br /> must be drained pretty dry the publication did not<br /> appear untill [sic] Jerich [sic] folk left the Citty [sic] thought to<br /> have been kept back in that account. Cousin T says <br /> he gave a copy to W.

You have doubtless heard that Jonathan Titus had moved and taken his home at Daniel Titus's he was buried a week last sixth day at Westbury. Sister Amy is now at her Fathers and has been two or three weeks passt [sic] Sarah Pearsall too is there on a visit Aunt [T?] Powell is also there who we expect here to morrow. Uncle Gilbert and Aunt Esther were here last week made a numbe [sic] of visits to thy fathers among the rest Aunt Amy has not been to Jericho since her husband's death. William Seaman has been up on a visit about a week who with Joshua Thompson Amy Kirby and I think likely L Seaman (tho I did not hear) went to Flushing on seventh day and returned yesterday a sudden change in the weather took place seventh day night from very moderate ra^i^ny weather a cold snowstorm came on tho there has not a great deal of snow fallen it was very tedious being out first day as the snow blew very much it now seems like winter which we have had very little of yet we think we have got a good School you have likely heard that J Thompson is teacher Samuel has three tasks to get in one evening geography arithmetic and deffinitions [sic] and I suppose will shortly have gram- mer he says he has almost forgot how Aunt Hannah looks but he remembers how Uncle Isaac looks Catharine loves to talk about Aunt Hannah as well as any of them. It is two weeks this day since E Hicks and company got home father and mother arived [sic] the seventh day evening before they seem suited with having been the journey they say in Baltimore there was no opposition that unity and harmony prevailed throuought [sic] the Yearly Meeting. commotion still lives in Philadelphia tho E has very many warmly attached friends yet the spirit Opposition prevails in some individuals as strongly as ever while they were in Philadelphia report said there was a letter from E Hicks to Thomas Willis which gone to the p^r^ess which report also reach'd [sic] our ears but we were slow to believe thinking cousin T would not through his means cause ^a [contraverse [sic]^ such athing to be printed we have seen the letter dated 10th mo 1822 to which is added a long review said to be written by an epis^c^opal clergyman I think when friends have to resort to such ^means for^ assistance they must be drained pretty dry the publication did not appear untill [sic] Jerich [sic] folk left the Citty [sic] thought to have been kept back in that account. Cousin T says he gave a copy to W. Foster not expecting it to be prin= =ted On EHs return to New York he was at Rose street Meeting in the morning and in the afternoon at the upper Meeting in both of which he was very lengthy in communication and some or many thought very extraordinary since which we hear some of may I not say the [illegible] friends have called a special meeting and that T Hawkshurst stated that he promoted infidel doctrin [sic] but they may meet and meet and I see not that they will be able to do any thing I think the basis on which he stands is to [sic] firm to be even josseled [sic] the first meeting that he attended at home was the fol= =lowing fifth day silent except appearing in solemn supplication and thanksgiving to the God who condesends [sic] to be with those whose dependance is on him alone who who goes before them in their going out and returning who makes darkness light before them and crooked ways straight he prayed that the loveingly [sic] exercised ^though down^ might be faithful let what would come and that the dry [bones?] might live. and first day he was very lengthy and extraordinary in the exercise of his gift taking a retrospect over his whole life and relating some interesting and affecting incidents which occured [sic] in early life and how he had been preserved all his life long by that preserving power which continues to be his support. John Champlin was at Meeting it seems very remarkable that he should become a steady attender of friends meetings who was so latly [sic] a professed Churchman Aunt Mary says he used to be much opposed to E.H. but is now a warm friend to him she thinks it scarcely possible that he can be religious he went to Elias's after Meeting I have not heard any thing particular said about his visit Phebe Hicks was so much better that her father and Mother got home pretty comfortable with her but she has since been more poorly is now on the gaining hand. Our little Edmund's eyes were so extreamly [sic] soar [sic] that about three weeks since we became alarmed fearing he would loos [sic] the sight of one in particular in consequence of which we took him to Doctor Gorvey and he thoughtthe danger was great of loosing [sic] his sight he furnished ^us^ with a large bottle of liquid which was to be profusely [sic] applied and in the course of a week they had made very great improvement and tho they are now weak he goes to school to Jane Mott which would not be prudent but for its being so near he has had to stay home so much he says Sarah and Rachel have got before him I sent Daniel down ^this evening^ to inquire what Mary had to say to thee she sends a message of love and that they are all well John says tell Isaac that if he has no sword he must sell his coat and buy one for war is [darkening?] I must beg thee to cast a mantle of charity my [scribble?] which is written so bad I do not know that thou can read it but it is so late and I am so tired haveing [sic] hastend [sic] in order to give H time and room which thou wilt see I have not left much of I forgot to mention that Mother has had a fit about two weeks since but I believe is now pretty well was poorly after it as usual. with [th?] love to you all including the other [room?] folk I conclude thy ever affectionat [sic] sister Phebe P. Willis [Text written upside-down on bottom of page] Dear Brother Isaac With regard to my horse I have wrote Joseph Frost particular on the subject while my P was filling up thine as time will not admit of saying much at present it is late in the eavning [sic] & it must go early in the morning I shall refer thee to his letter. I am tolerably well supplied with horses at present should I deliver mine at Scipio I should then have an opportunity of seeing thine & perhaps I may take one or more of them I hope thou will feel free & act according to thy own judgment respecting horse business - my colt from the [blind?] mare improves in use and beauty Affectionately Henry Willis (page 4) [Text in center of page, written downwards] Isaac Post 182 LedyardAurora Post office Cayuga County

<p>(Page 1)<br /><br /> Jericho 3 mo 1838<br />Dear Brother Sister and Edmond<br /> What a privilage [sic] we have yes what an unspeak-<br />able privilag [sic] it is when far separated to be able to commune with<br />with [sic] each other, it is indeed next to the enjoyment of mingling together<br />personally I do not remember whether Catharine was gone to J Rushmore<br />when we wrote before but she has been there more than two weeks<br />she is paying some attention to drawing under Matild’s [sic] tuition<br />and by her express invitation we went some days since in order<br />to take her home but as it seemed rather a pitty [sic] to brake [sic] her off so soon<br />she concluded to stay another week they were all pretty well except Edm^ond^<br />who was rather better of his cold does not go out of his room looked<br />and seemed pretty comfortabe [sic] sleeps well nights but his hands still<br />look sick and he is otherwise thin except his face which you know<br />is his best appearance his mother said she did not feel like leaving him<br />much untill [sic] he could walk about the house. Father has quite brightend [sic]<br />up but his sore increases. Henry went Yesterday and cleaned his clock being<br />no longer able to do it himself. Mary F has spent several weeks at her<br />father’s has now returned to Westbury. it is a little more than a <br />week since we were invited to attend the funeral of John Jones’s<br />wife meet [sic] at the house at ½ past 12 and at the Church at ½ past 1<br />O clock and a real formal time it was even the man that ministered<br />Oh how dry to us there was indeed a darkness that was [<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">feelt</span> [sic]] so percept-<br />-able [sic] that I believe it might truely [sic] be said it was felt all seemed<br />to tend to draw from the solemn occation [sic] on which we had met<br />had the rellatives [sic] been unacquainted with the principles professed by friend<br />I have no doubt [<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">it</span>] the performance would have appeared less exception-<br />able to me I cold [sic] not but compare that occation [sic] with the funera [sic] of<br />Sally Carle where divested of unnecessary form the opportunity seemed<br />peculiarly calculated to introduce the mind to a train of serious reflection<br /> First day and 11<sup>th</sup> of the month [<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">when</span>] I wrote the above when our<br />family were all absent and when they came home put it quickly out<br />of sight and have now resumed my pen while Henry and Isaac are in bed<br />and Samuel at the barn this secrecy is observed in order that they may<br />have no excuse for not writing but whether I shall effect any thing by it do<br />not yet know. Your acceptable letter reached us some days since and in it<br />Edmund has made his pittyful [sic] mone [sic] in relation to his clothes for the first time<br />it is just as I had feared he would feel knowing he went from home so unprepared<br />I expected he would feel as if his clothes cost so much but I hope sister Amy will<br />not feel as if there has been any care lacking on her part for I think its [sic] very<br />probable more has been bestowed than if under my charge – it may be necessary<br />to tell him [<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">what</span>] what it is necessary for him to procure or for him to con-<br />sult Uncle and Aunt which he probably does gladly would I this day send some<br />bosomes [sic] if it were practicable – – it seems brother Isaac has had an invitation<br />for Edmund at L Mores well since they are so queer and do not call on<br />and invite you all I should advise aunt Amy and Edmund to call on<br />them and also at S Cornells after tea or at some time when it is not<br />meal time, how do they treat Uncle Henrys family do they call on them<br />cousin [Anson?] Mott when here expressed great affection for Aunt Mary<br />and said she wanted to call and see her but her being from home<br />prevented; as much as you admired [Darbert?] brother Isaac does not say how he<br />appeared on personal acquaintance or why he did not visit you or whether he<br />invited him to call on his sister Rushmore and family when he gets to<br />Long Island as they seem to be in the neighbourhood of Henstead [sic] harbour <br />and need a little [christianising?] all but Matilda we have succeeding geting [sic]<br />them to take the Liberater [sic] by subscribing for them and advancing the<br />mony [sic] but Matilda sais [sic] she cant make them take much interest in it<br />howeve [sic] I hope they will and I think their interest has increased already<br />The Jerich [sic] Library seems to have given quite a new energy to the intellectual<br />powers within the bounds of its circulation, in reply to [I?] in relation to his<br />fathers tooth we might have said before it had got well. rellative [sic] to the<br />road out [sic] to the turnpike we are not able yet to inform what will be the re-<br />sult of present negosiation [sic] it appears Jacob askes [sic] more for the land than<br />was expected Henry feels like being pretty deliberate but as John will by<br />the change take up considerable fence and land he is more anxious to expedite <br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></p>

I am glad to find Arthur Mott is in good spirits and that he has
[farms?] to attend to hope he will have some property which perhaps
may stay the tongue of Slander which by Jeffries account had been
raised not only against Ansel but Joseph Frost, The Friend of man
refered [sic] to for the proceedings of your antislavery [proceedings] ^meeting^ we have not seen but
have seen several honorable notices of it in other papers that is of the meeting
at Rochester (not however the particulars) in the Emancipater [sic] Liberater [sic] and
perhaps Enquirer Benjamin Lundy has concluded to retire from editing the
Enquirer and John G Whittier has become its editor and our friends at [Philia?]
seem to think new lustre will be added to the paper and that it will be
far more interesting than heretofore. Edmund remarks you will remember
that [you] [Darbert?] is the Long Islander be/asured [sic] his name and circumstances
connected with it have made an impression not easily to be erased from
memorry [sic] but as yet we have heard nothing of him except from you and I
believe of you we must inquire if we know at all when he will be or
whether he is already stationed at Hempstead Harbour as our former
enquiries have proved futile tho [sic] perhaps now if you were to enquire on the
spot we could asertain [sic] Isaac Hicks building and fixing prospects appears
to us far from flatering [sic] as well as to you but supposing they know what
seems pleasant to themselves we say nothing. To [Fanny?] Frosts kind
enquiries in relation to our going to Rochester may say it always
^looks pleasant^ there to me whenever my mental eye wanders to its pleasant
situation and the kind inhabitants with whom we mingled ^when^ there
having now other strong attachments our interest is increased of course
but the prospect is something like a star that twinkles now and then but
is sometimes almost obscured, I ^should^ love much to visit you as well as [well as]
to have you visit us. When John Jones’s wife was buried Cousin Samuel Willis
being there came home with us staid [sic] all night and on the morrow we went ^with^ and took
him to his fathers and from thence to the rail road after dining with them [just]
just before we left Uncle Roberts Aunt M said they had lately received a letter from
George Willets or rather I believe Uncle R gave the intelegenc [sic] and as we had not time
to read the whole Aunt M expressed her willingness that we should take it with us
to I Rushmore’s where we were expecting to go and let them return it the next
day at meeting, in it he spoke of his father’s being quite poorly that they had got
in their new large warm house and had saved a great deal of wood been much
more pleasantly situated and comfortable than when in their former cold[s]
house that they had bought land so much lower than they sold that they
now had I think it was three farms or that which would make three farms
of 100 acres apeace [sic] and money left the house to be sure was larger than they needed
but thought they the children would want often to be there and it would
be convenient to have plenty of room he wrote that Priscilla Cadwalader had
at last got home that her husband had got divorced from her and that in
their last monthly meeting Sipio [sic]a strong effort was made by her partisens [sic]
3 or 4 in number to get up a certif[f]icut [sic] or document expressive of unity with
her to send to her own meeting but they were promptly put down that he
believed very little could be said and that friends were glad to get rid of
her now as the above is taken from a letter and not written to me either you will
see the propriety of great care in speaking of it. – – Lucretia writes Abraham Lower
has obtained unity and Sympathy of his monthly and Quarterly for an extensive
journey to the meetings of Baltimore – their own N York and Gennessee [sic] and to
attend all those Yearly Mgs she sais [sic] her quiet during the winter has been con-
ducive to the restoration of her health that with the salt and water
and general care in accordance with Dr Parrish’s directions have nearly
effected a cure she writes their family give all the credit to the salt
and that she thinks John Plummer deserves from her a letter of special
acknowledgement. Lucretia queries [sic] with us whether ^we were^ not interested with William
Loyd [sic] Garrison prospectus for this year - we were much I wish you could see it if
you have not if you take it you doubtless have, after asking the question she then
adds how wonderfully his mind has advanced form light to light till [sic] now it seems
like the bright shining of a candle that George F White may well charge her with
being [wraped] wraped [sic] up in him for there are few her contemporaries whose char-
acters she more revers [sic] for she loves to see Quaker principles or the truth acknowl-
-adge [sic] where the sect is scarcely known as in his case because it goes to establish the
universality of the principles
(Page 3)
she then adds Thomas [Treusdall?] of Providence staied [sic] a night with them some
time ago who said at their annual meeting in Providence when William L. Garrison
was applied to to deliver a lecture or rather an address he declined choosing rather
to trust to the impulse of the Spirit and when he did speak it was with
such impressive Solemnity that it inspired a kind of awe – that he had rarly [sic]
seen such a countenance
Fifth day morning and 15th of the month just
as I had written the last sentence on 2 day afternoon Joseph Post and
cousin William Willets came here and on Uncle Joseph’s invitation
for me to go home with them I concluded to do so as Mother
had been so long poorly found her better and third day proving
very fine I ventured to invite her to bundle up and ride down
to Mary Posts which on a little consideration she concluded to do
Mary and all well about 4 OClock we returned and I went to see
Aunt Sarah she still looks feeble but would like that Aunt
Mary Post should be informed that she is much better than when
she was here and has been better through the winter than she
had any reason to expect frequently goes out and to Meeting
I also call’d [sic] to see Aunt Rachel found her much as usual [so that]
so that you can with a mental eye look and almost see her sit-
-ing there; at Monthly ^meeting^ yesterday sister Lydia said Edmund
had slept very little for several nights that Isaac had staid [sic] with
him and she had very unexpectedly concluded to leave him
to attend meeting they concluded to retain Amy Lee a member
after having her case before the meeting many months for
marrying one not a member which you have doubtless been inform’d [sic]
of; two new cases from Matinecock came David Valentine’s daughter
to S Cornelius and Samuel Thorns daughter to one whose name
I do not remember and Silas Albertson’s daughter to [obliterated]
Orthodox friend she expects to go with her husband but th[obliterated]
others will doubtless be retained as Amy Lee was notwithstand-
-ing she was married by a Priest. they made quite a move there
concluded to dispence [sic] with asking the men to pleas [sic] to let
them pass an offence or transgression by they however went
in and asked the opinion of men friends who redily [sic] acceeded [sic]
to the proposition I expect and believe by some remarks made
that some if not many women are quite alarmed at the supposd [sic]
inovation [sic]. Catharin [sic] says tell Edmund they were pleased with
his Charad [sic] that they thought it a good one but she and Isaac
separately soon found it out and I thought they were very smart
[to find it out] And to thee Edmund I suppose all this hastily written
scrall [sic] seems like trash not having yet come to the point [of] in reply to
^thy^ wishes in relation to thy longer stay thy Grandfather is so poorly
and so often enquires about thee I often feel as if it would be best fore [sic]
thee to come home at least for a time. As thou hadst stated that A
Frost needed some one to assist and relieve him by attending to
the duties that had devolved to [sic] hevily [sic] on him we had or rather
thy father had expected the plan was to make an arangment [sic]
with thee in some way that would be satisfactory and that we hardly
knew how to give the [sic] up were willing thou should make the trial
but he thinks considering thy youth and inexperience it will hardly
be best to acceed [sic] to thy last proposition as possibly on trial thou may
not like the business at all
(Page 4)
[Text in top third of page, normal]
Benjamin [Daughly?] being unable to attend the [Charity?] Meeting
sent the form of a petition to Congress which was said to be
a [illegible] one but the fears on the part of some prevented its passing
and and [sic] those who approved it had to yield the opinion that it was a
time of excitement and would be useless state as it is was again
advanced. I have scarcely time to write intelegably [sic] or fill my
paper as if we do not get our letters to the post Office the day
before they go they stay over the mail goes so very early in the
morning Isaac stands by me saying tell Edmund be sure to come
home and indeed we all want to see thee very much
last first day we were favoured with the company of Willet Kirby wife and
sister Sarah we had long expected them and the visit was far too short
Sarah still goes to school; the first day before Matthew Hannah Esther Seaman
Elizabeth Seaman Mary Post and Willet S visited us and both of the above
mentioned [illegible] Catharin [sic] was from home but she [did not] is now at home
she thinks some of the Kimberton School if Rachel will go with her but no
[illegible] ^[decision?]^ has yet taken place. Our family unite in love to you all Phebe P. Willis
[Text just below, upside down]
Our Daniel is done and we have hired another man
[Text upside down on bottom third of page]
Pleas [sic] offer my love to Uncle Henry’s family as if named as also our other
friends there and inform us whether Cornelia has been or is sick one of
uncle James’s girls said they had some way been informed through
Dr [Post?] that she was or had been ^very^ sick I thought perhaps it was a
mistake. John Plummer’s daughter is Married to a Jarvice Whitson
who is not a member of course her case has this day been reported
to the meeting Mary ^W^ Willis and Mary Seaman are appointed to visit
her; Elizabeth [Perters?] Smith’s wife has requested to become a
member of our society altho [sic] to [sic] feeble to attend meeting Mary
Kirby and Phebe P. Willis are appointed to visit her she appears
like a sweet spirited woman it seems to do one good to be
with her. Adam Amy and Ann Seaman have sent their
proposals to the monthly and Ann was at meeting she has been
so much poorly I hardly expected it
[Text right side up, just above the prior upside down text on bottom third of page]
It is said our little John died last night and I suppose will be buried tomorrow
I believe he and his wife were at Lewis’s Dianna [sic] is not yet married
they were here lately had left Jones’s
[Text sideways in right margin]
Edmund Kirby road [sic] to meeting with us to
day all well from you [sic] account the weather
has been very much alike here and there it now
seems really like Spring to day as it has several
of those past do write very soon I think we shall

went<br /> down and saw them sit at the table when they dined they then let<br /> their blankets fall and those who had no shirt on exposed their bare<br /> arms and shoulders &c I thought they handled knives and forks rather<br /> awkwardly while my sympathy was continually cited and I was<br /> much gratified with an opportunity of seeing them there were those<br /> in our company who several time spoke of their being hatefull [sic]<br /> looking creature well without meeting any remarkable adventure<br /> it was evening when we arived [sic] at William Wharton’s where I found<br /> Sarah Parmer ^who^ thou wilt remember was here last summer with<br /> her Father Isaac Hopper she got in the carriag [sic] and road [sic] to James<br /> Motts with me saying Oh Phebe how glad I am thee has come Lucretia<br /> will be so [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">pleased</span>] ^glad^ to see thee and it will do her so much good<br /> well when we got there she told me to sit in the carriag [sic] untill [sic] she<br /> stept [sic] in she found them at the tea table and queried with them whether<br /> they had a room to spare for Priscilla Cadwalader but she did not get on<br /> much with the delusion and I quickly met a most cordial reception<br /> found L better than I feared tho [sic] suffering very much some days very<br /> thin in flesh and appetite poor and afraid to ^eat^ allmost [sic] any thing on 6<sup>th</sup><br /> day evening we went to Eliza [Yornel’s?] or rather Benjamin’s Anna Coffin<br /> James and Lucretia Edward and Anna Hopper were the company very pleasant<br /> visit except that Lucretia had a suffering time after supper had a comfort<br /> -able night on 7 day James and Lucretia and self went ^to^ John Jackson’s<br /> he and Rachel were preparin [sic] to open a boarding school ^for girls^ on the 15of last<br /> month on our way we call’d to see Deborah Moulson her scool [sic] is full is full her<br /> house being small

dentist business and I am thinking some of our<br /> toothless and poor tooth friends will be induced to patronize him<br /> Towards evening Anna Coffin Lucretia Mott and Anna Hopper called for<br /> me to go with them to W Whartons where we had been invited to spend the<br /> evening Lucretia was much better than the evening previous and they<br /> all seemd [sic] to think a little jaunt in the country would be of use to her<br /> and she seemed very desirous that I should go with them though[t?] it<br /> migh[t?] [sic] be of service to her and should not go except I went with her<br /> and tho [sic] it was the day on which I had fixed to go to New York I decided<br /> on going with them ^so^ James started between 6 and 7 OClock on forth [sic] day<br /> morning ^with horse [obliterated]

<span> Jericho 4<sup>th</sup> mo 1842 </span><br /><span> My dear sister Amy</span><br /><span> While Edmund is gone to New York I</span><br /><span>have concluded to <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">concluded</span> to commence a reply to thy</span><br /><span>very acceptable letter. hope thou art before this time recovered</span><br /><span>from the indispotion [sic] which so nearly prevented thy writing</span><br /><span>tho the exertion of writing very likely might have prevent [sic] </span><span>so quick </span><br /><span>a res</span><span>toration to health as rest from all exertion would have al-</span><br /><span>lowed for full well do I know that it is not easy to write under</span><br /><span>bodily indispotion [sic] I do not wonder that you were surprised</span><br /><span>if you had not heard it before that women were not informed</span><br /><span>of the meetings of the Indian committee for I believe I may </span><br /><span>say truely [sic] that feelings of indignation are raised when ever I</span><br /><span>give the subject a thought, particularly </span><span>when I hear it said that </span><br /><span>they had subjects before them that would ^not^ interest the women</span><br /><span>what subjects I would ask could come before them con-</span><br /><span>nected with the cruel treatment and greavinces</span><span> [sic] of the red man</span><br /><span>in any way that we should not be interested </span><span>in</span><span> have </span><span>they</span><br /><span>all superior powers of perception and judgement because they are</span><br /><span>men. To thy question “will it not </span><span>be best for you to be out-spoken</span><br /><span>were we all of one mind and did the same </span><span>[plane? </span><span>flame</span><span>?]</span><span> of freedom exist</span><br /><span>which was our happy experience a few years ago it seems to me</span><br /><span>we should come out with one united voice in protestation </span><br /><span>against such treatment but now when in a kind of party</span><br /><span>feeling there is a tasit [sic] admition [sic] of superiority on the one</span><br /><span>hand and inferiority on the other that is that ^it is^ the prov=</span><br /><span>ince of the one to guard protect and watch over </span><span>the other &c</span><br /><span>&c there seems no other way but by patient endurance </span><br /><span>to submit, but I intend the first opportunity to </span><br /><span>talk with Rachel Hicks on the subject and endeavor</span><br /><span>to ascertain what her views are it is so unlike </span><br /><span>her former self to approve of the course I can hard</span><span>-</span><br /><span>ly think she ^can^ approves 7</span><sup><span>th</span></sup><span> day morning the last few words</span><br /><span>were written when it was so dark </span><span style="text-decoration:line-through;"><span>hast</span></span><span> last forth [sic] day eve that</span><br /><span>I could not see the letters at all, and I then left the room ^in order^ to</span><br /><span>attend </span><span>to some domestic concerns while out the sound reached </span><br /><span>my ears from several quarters we have company Edmund has </span><br /><span>come which I scarcely knew what to make of knowing he </span><br /><span>went to New York on 2</span><sup><span>nd</span></sup><span> day expecting to be absent near or</span><br /><span>quite all the week he soon howeve [sic] came to me saying he had</span><br /><span>come to wait on his friends Sylvester and Mary Wright with</span><br /><span>whom he had ^met^ in New York that they ^were^ </span><span style="text-decoration:line-through;"><span>had got</span></span><span style="text-decoration:line-through;"> </span><span>homesick and felt</span><br /><span>as if they could not come to Long Island without him and ^seemed^ </span><span style="text-decoration:line-through;"><span>see</span></span><span style="text-decoration:line-through;"></span><br /><span>equally disposed to extend they ^soon^ seemed to feel themselves at home</span><br /><span>and as if they could spare Edmund to return to New York</span>
<p><span>which he did the next day they went to meeting with us fifth </span><br /><span>day</span><span> ^but the weather^ </span><span style="text-decoration:line-through;"><span>which</span></span> <span>was allmost [sic] to [sic] cold for Sylvester to</span><br /><span>go out altho the 2</span><sup><span>nd</span></sup><span> day </span><br /><span>before was to [sic] warm to be comfortable, yesterday we took them to </span><br /><span>brother Johns cousin David being there directed nearly all his </span><br /><span>conversation </span><span>to Sylvester in a low tone of voice as is his way</span><br /><span>when he selects one of a company mother remarked to me that she</span><br /><span>thought S. would be much pleased with David he would give</span><br /><span>him so much information, today we go to thy fathers and tomor</span><br /><span>row to Westbury Meeting and to </span><span>^</span><span>brothr [sic]</span><span>^ John</span><span>s Mary [F?] and</span><br /><span>Uncle James’ girls </span><span>who informed she was better. After our com</span><span>-</span><br /><span>pany</span><span> ar</span><span>ived [sic] </span><span>having got throu [sic] with our tea </span><span>some time before, we</span><br /><span>hastened to prepare some clams and were surprised to hear them</span><br /><span>both say they never had seen </span><span>a </span><span>^soft^</span><span> clam before Sylvester liked</span><br /><span>them but Mary did not much S. thinks our fish are better</span><br /><span>than fresh water fish I was glad we happened also to have</span><br /><span>some oysters in the house which S. eats raw, hard </span><span>clams they</span><span> have</span><br /><span>not yet seen but soft ones we have plenty of fresh we hope soon to</span><br /><span>treat them with hard ones, the horses are ready and I must leave writing</span><br /><span>for the present. </span><span style="text-decoration:line-through;"><span>--- </span></span><span> 2</span><sup><span>nd </span></sup><span> morning</span><span> according to the above conclusion</span><span> I went</span><br /><span>with our friends to thy fathers [sic] where we had a pleasant visit returned</span><br /><span>and went yesterday to Westbury meeting with them and to brother </span><br /><span>Joseph’s found Mother better so that she thought a little of going to</span><br /><span>Meeting. Rachel Hicks absent on a visit to Nantucket accompanied</span><br /><span>by Valentine</span><span> and Abigail Hicks, to-day I am going with them to </span><br /><span>Willet Robbins to dine and to Samuel J. Underhill to tea Edmund</span><br /><span>and Ancel Frost </span><span>are to be of the number the latter came up with</span></p>
<ol><li><span> seventh day afternoon. sister </span><span>Mary Post says she has talked with</span></li>
</ol><p><span>R Hicks on the subject of women friends not meeting with men on</span><br /><span>Indian concerns and she appeared entirely to approve of said</span><br /><span>doings so you will see how useless it is for Mary </span><span>and</span> <span>I to be </span><br /><span>“outspoken</span><span>” if as I don’t know but we do we stand alone as the</span><br /><span>women </span><span>commitee [sic] in New York approves of the proceedure [sic]</span><br /><span>again I must</span><br /><span>leave and prepare for going Mary is up stairs writing to her mother</span><br /><span>it has yet been to [sic] cold for them to go to the sea shore. Sylvester</span><br /><span>calls himself better thinks of going to Phila. to leave here on 6</span><sup><span>th</span></sup><span>day </span><br /><span>third day I ^again^ </span><span>steel [sic] a few moments to devote to writing while I believe</span><br /><span>Mary is also engaged in the same employment at least she is up-</span><br /><span>stairs</span><span>. - The committee in Charles Marriot’s case as you likely heard</span><br /><span>concluded to meet on 4</span><sup><span>th</span></sup><span> day after the adjournment </span><span> </span><span>of the Acct [?] </span><span>Qly [?]</span><br /><span>[Accounting Quarterly?]</span><br /><span>meeting from which Henry had just returned and given the in</span><br /><span>formation of the decission [sic] of the mont</span><span>h</span><span>ly </span><span>when Edmund arived [sic]</span><br /><span>in company with C.

Brother Joseph<br /> little Catharine has a sweling [sic] on the side of her<br /> neck which they are begining [sic] to think is kings evil<br /> Mother has been better for several weeks so<br /> that she talks of going to Flushing this to Q.

Isaac Rushmores 10th Mo 20th 1837 My dear Brother and Sister Edmund says he must write to Uncle Isaac this afternoon if it is but three lines and in complianc [sic] with Edmunds ^or his^ request I take pen and commence even while here on a visit he talks about leaving us very soon but I tell him he must not think of going before a week from tomorrow which will be the 2nd day after Quarterly Meeting indeed I feel as if that would bee [sic] sooner than we could give him up Catharine came home two or three days after Edmund, accompanied by Gertrude [Rimber?] one of her Teachers who will be with us untill [sic] we go to Flushing Quarterly by which you will perceiv [sic] we shall not have time to fix him off sooner 4th day we went to Westbury Monthly Meeting and 5th day over to Bethpage to our own at the close of which the partitions were opened and the Marriage of Alexander [Bunker?] and Mary Seaman accomplished we dined with the wedding party at Jesse Merritt's, on 6th day we attend the marriage of Edward Willis and Elizabeth Seaman at Robert Seamans, I was forcibly re- minded of the time and circumstances relating to your union the opposition to that way or to this new way was somewhat similar but we think it an improvement; William Haveland and Esther Seaman have yield to the wishes of some of their friends & postpone their marriage untill [sic] after Quarterly Meeting I have not Sister Amy very acceptably by me to re- ply to and have not time to do it if I had and as there is constant talk in the room I cannot keep my thoughts collected or think what I want to say. - I was very sorry Mary Ws letter was not re- ceived previous to Edmunds leaving for I cannot help thinking she sister Amy would have accom- panied him and been with us at the time of Edward and Elizabeth's marriage. Brother Joseph little Catharine has a sweling [sic] on the side of her neck which they are begining [sic] to think is kings evil Mother has been better for several weeks so that she talks of going to Flushing this to Q.

Sister Lydia and Edmund Rushmore with my self went to New York with Lucretia and attended Monthly Meeting there and heard from her a wonderful communi- cation which I think no one could say aught against nor have I heard any objection only to her movements generally, she went from the rail road strait [sic] to [the] Westbury meeting about 20 minutes after time preached they say a very great sermon but I fear not altogether respond ed to by Rachel Hicks. --- While I have much to say to you I must leave this medly [sic] as I have no [dou] doubt it is as I can but hear the conversation in the room and join in it too so farewell most affectionatly [sic] PPW[Letter #490 continues on this page]

<p>Brother</p>
<p>John has</p>
<p>just been</p>
<p>here saying</p>
<p>Mary F is</p>
<p>quite or very</p>
<p>poorly with</p>
<p>rheumatism</p>
<p>so that her</p>
<p>mother is</p>
<p>gone</p>
<p>there to</p>
<p>stay</p>
<p>a few</p>
<p>days</p>
<p>what</p>
<p>am un-</p>
<p>speakable</p>
<p>pity</p>
<p>that W</p>
<p>L Garrison</p>
<p>and NP</p>
<p>Rodgers</p>
<p>have falen [sic]</p>
<p>out by the</p>
<p>way I have</p>
<p>read on that</p>
<p>subject with</p>
<p>deep regret</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>sym-</p>
<p>pathy</p>
<p>for Garrison</p>
<p>how many</p>
<p>many [proofs?] we</p>
<p>have had of the</p>
<p>faling [sic] of</p>
<p>warm friendship</p>
<p>but let us not</p>
<p>conclude there</p>
<p>is no such thing</p>
<p>as true friendship</p>
<p>for even that</p>
<p>which fails</p>
<p>through human frailty I must believe has been real but how painful must be the thought that a friendship which has given so much</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Text sideways, right margin]</p>
<p>heart felt solace is at an end and instead of congenial hearts flowing in</p>
<p>unison from which so much pleasure has been derived unkind feelings</p>
<p>cherished but I cannot think Garrison does harbour any unkind</p>
<p>feelings towards Rodders [sic]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Text normal, center of page]</p>
<p>read this last. when Joseph left his paper I expected</p>
<p>to get him to write more but the paper</p>
<p>is filed [sic] to [sic] full for him but</p>
<p>he wants me to say grandmother Willis sends her</p>
<p>love to all</p>
<p>[Evening?] Joseph has written the above lines and seems to</p>
<p>think it all he has to say he wrote it first on his Slate at</p>
<p>school and brought it home and copied it on paper I</p>
<p>had intended after the reception of my dear brother’s</p>
<p>letter to write very soon but so many things have</p>
<p>occupied my time and attention that I have thus post</p>
<p>poned until the present time and now it is quite late in</p>
<p>the evening we have had Cousin Thomas Willis with his grand</p>
<p>daughters Deborah and Rachel ^to tea with us this afternoon^ cousin T has a pretty bad</p>
<p>looking lump on his face a kind of projection [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">which</span>]</p>
<p>which he thinks has progress’d to [sic] rapidly to be a cancer</p>
<p>it is about the size of a cherry Samuel Smith’s family</p>
<p>are shortly to move up there cousin T. has been to see Anne</p>
<p>and informed her of the death of her mother which ^she^ could</p>
<p>not seem to realize, Stephen and Matilda were here the</p>
<p>other day and informed us that Mary Ann Johnson and</p>
<p>Mary Underwood were on a visit at Uncle Joseph’s and</p>
<p>we have been expecting them here today together with –</p>
<p>Hulda and Mary Hoag why they have not come I do not ^know^</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 2)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>as I am surrounded by such a talkative company and I can</p>
<p>commune with [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">with</span>] absent friends so much better alone</p>
<p>I will adjourn for the present and try to commence under more</p>
<p>favourable circumstances, – – ^2<sup>nd</sup> day afternoon^ Oh dear dear dear all this time [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">has layn</span>]</p>
<p>has my paper laid waiting for a more convenient season, what</p>
<p>with having company visiting and domestick [sic] engagements I have</p>
<p>not until now found any time to to [sic] devote to pen and paper</p>
<p>brother Joseph Sister Mary ^their daughter^ Hulda and Mary Hoag with Mary Under-</p>
<p>Wood ^came^ the three latter [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">illegible</span>] tarried with us two days and two nights</p>
<p>when Catharine Isaac and myself took them to Westbury in</p>
<p>time for their school on 2 day morning, that is Hulda and</p>
<p>her sister, Mary Underwood went with us as far as Silas Carle’s, and</p>
<p>we landed at I Rushmores found all as well as usual but the</p>
<p>void made by the removal of that dear fond and affectionate Sister</p>
<p>of ours I still feel can never be fill’d, there is such a continual</p>
<p>recuring [sic] to her while so many tender recollection crowd upon</p>
<p>the memory, but I often think her place is as nearly fill’d</p>
<p>as it could be by another yes I have sometimes wondered how</p>
<p>Matilda could take so much interest in and make herself</p>
<p>so agreeable to me and us while she has sister of her own</p>
<p>to mingle with, in short she is a lovely woman to whome [sic] I</p>
<p>feel much attached, we had not been there long before brother Jos<sup>h</sup></p>
<p>and sister Mary came, and before dinner a message was sent</p>
<p>from Silas Carles inviting us all there to tea, but J and M</p>
<p>declined going Silas came over after dinner with a repeated in</p>
<p>vitation and urged their going but they thought best to go home</p>
<p>Stephen, Matilda Edmund, Catharine, Isaac, and I went and were</p>
<p>entertained in real City stile [sic] that is every thing seemed so</p>
<p>^suberbly [sic]^ nice but their reception and treatment to us was none other</p>
<p>than a kind country welcome, the committe [sic] are soliciting</p>
<p>Mary Underwood to take the Westbury school and she has had a</p>
<p>letter from her mother saying Mary Lipeneot wants her to</p>
<p>occupy a place in her school as teacher she seems to be hes-</p>
<p>-itating not having made up her mind, her mother leaves her</p>
<p>at [biverty?] to deside [sic] accorting [sic] to her own judgement. Mary Ann</p>
<p>Johnson has returned to her residence at the State Prison without</p>
<p>letting us see her which I quite regreted [sic], have you heard that Sidney</p>
<p>Gay is to be married to Elizabeth Neal. I omited [sic] to say above tha [sic]</p>
<p>when we rose from the tea table at Silas Carle’s it was so dark</p>
<p>and stormey [sic] that it was considered too [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">dark and stormey</span> [sic]] ^unsuitable^</p>
<p>for Isaac and self to come home. Catharine was expecting to</p>
<p>stay but she had struck a violant [sic] tooth ache that ^night^ it proved best</p>
<p>that we did, so extreme was the pain that she felt as if she could</p>
<p>not wait till [sic] morning to have it extracted but a little before</p>
<p>it was time to get up she got a sleep and slept a short nap, as</p>
<p>it was snowing pretty fast we thought best to make the best of out</p>
<p>way home with our wheel’s leaving them to take charge of Catharine we had</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 3)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>not been home long ^we stayed till [sic] after brakefast [sic] some time and it snowed very fast all the ^way^^ before the sun broke out with brightness and</p>
<p>this afternoon the weather looks fine but wintery and different from</p>
<p>the last few weeks when it has appeared like Spring indeed the ground</p>
<p>settled and the traveling good, Dost thou my dear brother say I can</p>
<p>realize your feelings in the loss of your precious little darling, true I think I</p>
<p>can and have entered into feeling with you on the trying occation [sic] and</p>
<p>it is a painful reflection to me that I shall see the lovely ^pretty^ little</p>
<p>creture [sic] no/more. [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">your</span>] seeing her suffer so much I suppose prepared</p>
<p>you in some degree to give her up, Oh it seems almost as if I had</p>
<p>been with you watching her imploring looks for relief under</p>
<p>suffering so painful to behold and felt the inability the utter im</p>
<p>possibility of having or possesing [sic] any power to relieve or stay the prog</p>
<p>ress of the desease [sic] which terminated her precious life, the kindness of</p>
<p>your neighbous [sic] at such a time must have been very grateful, particularly as</p>
<p>sister Amy was not well.</p>
<p> The situation of things that are trans-</p>
<p>-piring with you [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">t</span>]relating to society affairs must be exceeding-</p>
<p>ly trying according to thy account but I have faith to hope [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">there</span>]</p>
<p>and to believe there will be a reaction that deliverance will [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">be</span>]</p>
<p>come but I know it required great patience and forbearance</p>
<p>and endurence [sic], I want thee my dear brother to live down</p>
<p>that spirit of opposition and party feeling by thy straight</p>
<p>forward steady even deportment which I have no doubt some</p>
<p>of thy opposers [sic] have ofttimes envied thee, do not I prey [sic] thee gratify</p>
<p>them so much as to think of resigning thy right of member-</p>
<p>ship pleas [sic] remember that by withdrawing from those with</p>
<p>whome [sic] thou canst not unite thou woulds [sic] also by the rules</p>
<p>of the society be disconnected from those with whome [sic] thou</p>
<p>thou canst take sweet council and with whome [sic] it is delightful</p>
<p>to mingle in [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">sweet</span>] fellowship, to think of one member of so-</p>
<p>ciety wishing another member to withdraw that has an</p>
<p>equal [righ [sic]?] with himself how preposterous. Charles Marriet</p>
<p>laboured with Rouland Thoberson on the subject of his thinking</p>
<p>of withdrawing and seemed very desirous that whatever trials</p>
<p>friends might meet with they should hold on and by no</p>
<p>means gratify their opposers [sic] so much as to withdraw, I the</p>
<p>languag [sic] of my heart has often been suffer it to be so now; do come</p>
<p>to Jericho and Join our little meeting things seem very quiet here</p>
<p>but I suppose brother Joseph would say ^it was^ because there was nothing</p>
<p>to fan the flame but it does not seeme [sic] to me as if the spirit of per-</p>
<p>section was here, and how wonderful that it should find a place in</p>
<p>any reflecting mind when we consider the uncertainty and short-</p>
<p>ness of life it seems as if there was no time for other than love &</p>
<p>good will one towards another, I do not know how sister Amy feels</p>
<p>about this matter but tell her as Stephen Treadwell [illegible] “to stick</p>
<p>to the ^old^ ship” and hope for better days and if the worst must come</p>
<p>[sideways in right margin] have no [illegible] in it</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(Page 4)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Joseph has just gone to school and Henry Samuel and Isaac are</p>
<p>dispersed leaving me alone O how I do miss mother for when she was</p>
<p>not here it was so easy and desirable to [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">to</span>] go often to see her</p>
<p>and tho [sic] we ought to be thankful ^that^ she was spared so long to us as she</p>
<p>had got to be an old woman she was so much company and her</p>
<p>faculties almost unimpared [sic] and memmory [sic] so good it was hard to</p>
<p>part with her, there is ofttimes a kind of sad solemnity brought over</p>
<p>my feelings when I reflect that not one of those who formed our fam-</p>
<p>ily circle in my early days are now living for well do I remember when</p>
<p>Father Mother Lydia my self Edmund and our colored girl Ella</p>
<p>composed the family and when I look back to those days it seems</p>
<p>as if in the removal of my brother and sister a prop had been taken</p>
<p>from each side of me, and well do I remember also how dear ^to me^ was my</p>
<p>little brother Isaac when he was added to our family circle and how was he</p>
<p>grew up he was twined in affection round my heart as was brother Joseph in</p>
<p>after years, altho [sic] Joseph has enquired since he has been here which was oldest</p>
<p>Uncle Joseph or me and which I asked him to guess he said Uncle Joseph</p>
<p>perhaps he judged by Uncle Joseph’s size for I dont know how other</p>
<p>he should make such a mistake, Mother Willis came home with brother</p>
<p>^John^ and sister Mary from Flushing leaving Aunt Esther improving in</p>
<p>health and strength but her cough continues, I suppose there is no</p>
<p>doubt but William Post and Esther Lawrenc are engaged to be</p>
<p>married and that before long I expect, William and Edward are</p>
<p>[<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">are</span>] making an addition to their house which I believe they are hastning [sic]</p>
<p>to get done first, William Thurston has had two attacks of paralysis</p>
<p>at New York after he had the first attack before he got quite well enough</p>
<p>to get home he was ceized [sic] with another so that Abigail and Joseph</p>
<p>had to stay with him as I understand both attacks were light and we</p>
<p>hear they have got him up to Flushing or rather Beyside [sic]. Cousin</p>
<p>Samuel Willets and his son Jacob staied [sic] here last seventh day</p>
<p>night the former said they had had John Jackson at Rose St M.g</p>
<p>the first day before and that he preached an excellent cermon [sic]</p>
<p>which was said to be so clear and easy to be understood that</p>
<p>there could be no misunderstanding something of a treat for them</p>
<p>[sideways in right margin] I expect that is for all to under stand alike</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Text sideways in left margin]</p>
<p>Sarah Weeks is in a great deal of trouble not know</p>
<p>ing where to go you have likely heard James Haviland has</p>
<p>told her she canot [sic] stay she feels hurt that she did not</p>
<p>know it sooner it was so very unexpected especialy [sic]</p>
<p>as he solicited there [sic] coming when she never had thought</p>
<p>of the thing but he no doubt is saisfied [sic] in his own</p>
<p>mind that it is best for them to leave and it is thought</p>
<p>Jericho is not a good place for her sons</p>
<p>I conclude in much love to you all as if</p>
<p>named your affection Sister Phebe P Willis</p>
<p>3<sup>rd</sup> mo 13<sup>th</sup> beautiful bright morning & snow most [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">g</span>] gone</p>

(Page 1)<br /><br /> Jericho the 16 of 3th [?] 1843<br /><br />My much esteemed<br />Sister A. Post ____. It is so long since hearing or in other<br />words receiving a letter from thee, that I feel as though it<br />would be best to give thee an invitation to try to get in <br />the quiet and thy mind composed, and then write me a<br />good old fashion letter, but I expect this will be a state that<br />will be verry [sic] difficult for thee to com [sic] at, as it appears from<br />some of the A. S. Papers that thee and Sister Sarah are very <br />much engaged in A. S. fairs, conventions and Meetings of one<br />kind and another and I am fearing that your minds are to [sic] much<br />with these things, to the exclusion of that that [sic] is better<br />I saw some months ago in the A. S. standard an account of the<br />convention at Utica in which there was a great many resolu<br />tions [sic] offered and passed, some I believe said they would blow<br />up the constitution some would not live under the constitution<br />and I think one was offered by W. L.Garrison and passed,<br />wherein he said he rejoiced to see in his own native state <br />the spirit of 76 to revive. The Spirit of 76 was a spirit of<br />war a spirit of shedding blood, a spirit that would rather<br />take the lives of thousands of there [sic] fellow creatures than<br />ever to pay a tax of a few cents on a pound of tea. If a<br />nonresistant can rejoice in such a spirit as the spirit of 76<br />then I think the spirit of a Christian and the spirit of a<br />profesed [sic] nonresistant is two very, different spirits. now If thee<br />^and^ Sarah can unite with and vote for such resolutions, then<br />you may bid farewell to real Quakerism. _______ I saw in the
(Page 2)<br /><br />Liberator a few weeks since a letter from (I believe) one<br />of your members to the editor of that paper giving an account<br />of a meeting in friends meeting house in Rochester and also an<br />account of a social visit that Sarah Underwood made with<br />one of your neighbours, and the conversation that passed –<br />at the time, and evidently intended to lesen [sic] her as a minister.<br />some of our Abolitionist [s?] like that part of the letter verry [sic]<br />much say it is just what she deserved, but I can say that I <br />disapprove of such treatment I think it unchristian and ungen<br />tlemanly _____ plase [sic] to say to William and Mary that we<br />congratulate them on their marriage, but the invitation for us to <br />attend did not reach us until [sic] after the accomplish [sic] of it. J. W.<br /><br />[Here John Willis’s wife Mary Willis (Amy Post’s sister) inserts <br />a few paragraphs.]<br /><br />My husband gave me an invitation to fill the blank of this page on<br />looking over and correcting the spelling I feel willing to add a little <br />by way of remembrance and sisterly affection. I wrote to send by Jeffries<br />but somehow it got left: for which I felt a regret as it was<br />rather better than I generally write. mother [sic] said you talk’d [sic] like com<br />ing early in the Spring and I begin to think whether you will step in <br />soon and take us by surprise as cold as it is ^ it is winter weather yet here<br />Abbie Thurston has been spending a week with us, just left yesterday, when<br />Josehp [sic] gets out to Rochester I suppose you will have an opportunity of<br />becoming acquainted with her, Joseph has enquired several times when you<br />are coming, he seems to be alive [?] to going West. As I have so little room I must<br />write short sentences . Catherine writes she is improving, and gaining strength<br />father and mother in usual health, mother W…. [Willis?] also.

I suppose I must close as I am limited<br />for room and have already gone over limits. Thy sister M.W.W.<br /><br />[Here John Willis returns for the rest of Page 3.]<br /><br />This is for Jeffries. ---- Joseph D. Thurston has a choice in<br />spending some time at the west If thee could find a suitable <br />place for him, he would like to reside with a farmer and <br />in a family that are friends and not many small children he<br />has lived with us about 18 months and we can say that he is <br />well educated well behaved and industrius [sic], and richley [sic] earns<br />his board, and we should like to have him continue with us <br />until [sic] he gets his farm but he does not appear to be willing<br />to purchas [sic] one on long [sic] Island at present for his head seams [sic] to [be?]<br />filled with the west, he would like to reside within the compass <br />of Rochester P. Meeting, but if no suitable place is found within<br />the limits of Rochester, any other place that may offer within 10<br />or 15 Miles need not be objected to. _______ we have given him his board<br /><br />and washing for his work, and that will be all that he will<br />expect from those he resides with. he [sic] would like to leave<br />here directly after our yearly meeting, in 5 month. Please <br />to let us know when thee finds a place and where it is, but<br />if there is no place to be found, just say to us that there is<br />no suitable place to be had at presnt [sic], and then perhaps<br />he may remain satisfied [sic] where he is --- (privacy.

7th day morning & very clear cold weather after a severe storm
of wind and snow, and our men are talking about going to the
sale of O. Willets household furniture. [sic] Hannah lives at Jacobs but
thinks she has difficulty in getting to meeting, however she mostly
gets their [sic] first days sometimes Abby [?] and the children go with her.
At our last Mo Meeting we had 4 requests to be joined in membership
it seemed almost like a wonder that and surprise that It so, at the
present time. J. Plummer and Whitehead Hicks are having meetings within
our borders & Plummer’s wife is very poorly with scrofula appears failing
[Text continues in bottom third of page]
I think she will be a great loss to him she has been a real staff
to him through life, their daughter after a long illness recovered, although
I presume she ^is^ yet feeble I do look a little for Jacob L. Mott as there is
no meeting to day. he had two m. gs appointed yesterday Bethpage and
Jerusalem. I think they must have had a pretty trying time in getting
over the plains through snow and wind. I thought early in the morning
they would be likely to give it up, but the storm ceased, and ^the^ sun shone –
Jacob Jackson has steped [sic] and is talking and telling how wonderfully
John and Whitehead have preached he sais [sic] every body seems aroused.
he thinks there never was such a time. Do write and let us hear of your
good works affectionately your sister Mary W Willis

Nov. 17, 1852<br />11th Mo, 17th /52<br />Dear sisters <br />While being at fathers these two <br />days, attending mother in her sickness which<br />commenced last 6th day with pain in her side<br />very severe, accompanied with sickness, and vomitings<br />together with fever, has reduced her strength very<br />considerably, I was with her first day all day, but did<br />not administer medicine as she had taken oil, but<br />yesterday I did immediately on getting here finding <br />her face so very red, that it was almost purple with <br />fever and her head distressed her very much, the<br />medicine took good effect, and in two hours, a large<br />quantity of bile discharged, and the redness disappeared<br />[illegible] several hours, and she was more comfortable, in the<br />evening she wanted cold drink, and the pain in her<br />side returned with fever during the night tho not<br />severe, this morning she took medicine again, and<br />sleeps quietly, which indicates a favorable [impression?] <br />she looks pretty sick as she lies sleeping, but she<br />took a little more nourishment this morning than<br />at any time, / a little panada twice. cousin William <br />comes every day to the door to inquire. father felt<br />poorly seventh day but he is better, sits reading,<br />has been talking very pleasantly about occuren-ces that transpired many years since, "he said [Charls/Chails?]<br />Willets came here (before he was married) and invited him<br />to go to Oyster bay to meeting one first day morning, they<br />went, attended meeting, after which they went to ----------<br />to dine where was a young woman, and [the table being fitted for soup, &c bowls were [fixed?] around<br />the table, when they sat thereto, Father and the young <br />woman sat side by side, and a bowl of soup set
between them, and he felt exceedingly puzzled to know<br />how to manage fearing the young woman would not<br />like to partake with him, finally he [resulted?] in commencing first, leaving her to her own disposal, and they [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">eat</span>?] suped together out of [one] bowl. <br />5th day morning 18th of the month <br />at fathers mother had a restless night with but<br />little sleep yet I think the fever did not run as<br />high as several nights before, and she thinks she<br />can help herself a little more this morning, and<br />has taken a little more panada at a time. she<br />can sit up in bed a few minutes and does not<br />beat so exceedingly. I percieve this morning that<br />I feel a hope the worst is over. one thing is certain<br />that she is relieved from a great body of bile<br />Matilda said this morning I wish very much<br />that Sarah could be here, that mother would<br />need nursing all winter probably. and to hire<br />a woman to sit in the room with her w[ould?]<br />not be as pleasant as to have Sarah to sit<br />with her and attend to her little wants, Mother<br />said I have thought about her, but for coming<br />the long distance she has so many fears. perhaps now<br />you can better judge, what may be best<br />than we can. mother spoke about an oyster<br />for breakfast just now. <br />It is so many days since I saw E [P?] Willis<br />that I feel as if unable to give any particular<br />account I was home yesterday two or three hours<br />and thought I would step up to see him, but<br />a number of things required my attention that<br />I did not. I inquired whether he had been down<br />in my absence, he had not. I presume their [sic] is not<br />much change. I think he would [<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">be</span>?] call pleasant<br />days if I was home. Elias Hicks [are?] with Edward<br />and Elizabeth for the benefit of his health which is<br />very feeble a good deal oppression, and cough.
<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">flesh</span> considerably emaciated his wife is very attentive<br />to him and says she is well herself. she appears to<br />evince a cheerful countenance through all the vicisitudes, I suppose the prospect is to go further<br />south in second month if he lives untill that time<br />arrives. Edward and Elizabeth went down to attend<br />Henry Havilands wedding last evening at J. Haviland's<br />we expect them up to day. Aunt Esther has just been<br />here with a lame back, mother told her, they call me<br />a little better, but I don't know I feel a great beating<br />again. and the fever has come. aunt Esther said<br />she was glad we were writing to Sarah, she had thought<br />she should propose it. (Matilda has a dressmaker<br />through it all very quiet) I write by piece meal,<br />so very often getting upt that it will seem uncon-<br />nected. so please excuse the scrawl. I must go<br />and get some wood now. father will get cool as<br />well as me, it is a cold east wind with rain<br />and some snow. John has gone to [Mo.] Meeting<br />uncle Willet and aunt Esther we thought she had<br />better go. it is near twelve O Clock and I will <br />close for this to go to the mail with love to all<br />I remain your affectionate sister M W W. <br />Elizabeth Mott has not been notified of mothers<br />sickness yet. father and mother were there a week<br />ago yesterday drove themselves met with an<br />accident on their return home, one of the horses<br />took fright and jumped very much broke the<br />wiffletree. a man came out of the blacksmith<br />shop and assisted, father said them horses had rather<br />run than not, that he did not know wether he<br />could have held them, but mother assisted. mother<br />said dont tell it. I think it is not known here

Dear mother First day after meeting I omitted telling thee to day (though forgetfulness) that we heard when at Westbury on sixth day, that James Mott the elder, had fallen on the ice, and that he lay on his back, in a help- less situation, but the Doctor had not ascertained fully the cause, he said it might be owing to the bruise, he could not find a bone broken or dislocated, as yet, he found it difficult to exam- ine him, he appeard [sic] pretty comfortable when still, and the family did not wish to have him hurt with examination. We were to Wheatley ten days since, cousins Stephen and Phebe enquired particularly after thee and father requested their love presented, and asked if you could go and see them, said they I went in cousin P's room in the evening, and sat awhile with her, she seemed bright and lively, "green in old age, she said tell them I think of them often, and we have not got a neighbor like cousin William to step in often to raise our spirits, she said she had read Doctor Watts writings a great deal he being a favorite author of hers, and that she had real- ized what he said of old age, that it was a great thing to be old, and that she was endeavoring to bear it patiently as she could, she made perti- nent remarks, I thought worthy of remembrance I expected to see you before this, but as time may step along some days before I do, may send a little paper. I intended answering cousin Anna W Willis note ere this and Edmund kindness for A. Motts Obituary, but thinking to defer it untill [sic] after quarterly meeting, calculating to see uncle Gilbert and perhaps some others from Flushing. we did not go. Uncle Gilbert was there we heard he halts not for, weather, cold or hot, wet or dry. Rachel Hicks, uncle G ...rt like pressed through thisice, and being unwell before going, has been more so since her return home, so that she has not been able to get out since, except last third day she ventured to just go to the meeting house. William Healy's daughter was brought up to be intered [sic] in their ground, a young girl, I suppose nearly grown. John received a letter from Thomas WP. two days since, he dates at Paris and said we are now for the fourth time in Paris, on our return from Italy, in July, we remained three weeks, then to London, crossing to the Isle of Wight, which is a delight -ful spot, made a tour round the Island, the Queen has a Palace of her own, called Osborne, independent of the Crown, the grounds are very pretty, and extensive, we were in Scotland about a week, Edenburgh [sic] I consider the most beautiful City I have ever seen, all the buildings brown stone, the streets wide and clean, a monument to Walter Scott, costing about one hun -dred thousand dollars, ornaments, the centre of the town, rail road is the only mode of travelling in England, it is comfortable, expeditious, & very expensive, it averages about six cents per mile, he speaks of many Cities, full of interest, which we will talk about when I shall form thy family circle, which I hope will not be deferred beyond may or June. The crowned heads of Europe I think have a new lease and may slum- ber quietly, they are not prepared for any other than monarchial insti -tutions, to give an old government a new form, is a difficult matter, thinks Kossuth a political aspirant, Hungary, I have no doubt, will have a government, more suitable to the wants of the people, then he is likely to bestow, keep your money, for charities at home, it will then feed the hungry, & relieve the oppressed, rather than advance the ultra schemes of a political aspirant;" a short extract, have not time to write more, company has come in MWW.

<p> 2<sup>nd</sup> day morn 11 O Clock</p>
<p> I thought to have let this opportunity passed</p>
<p>by entirely without notice hoping my sisters would</p>
<p>feel what I do by the slight that I recieved [sic] from</p>
<p>them, but seeing this paper was not like to be filled</p>
<p>I concluded to move the pen a few minutes, Aunt Phebe</p>
<p>I heard was sick, since which we have heard nothing.</p>
<p>perhaps she will have a little love left to write to</p>
<p>me when she gets well enough, tell her that Mother</p>
<p>Willis is preparing to go to Flushing she feels a great</p>
<p>inclination to go, we think she is beareily [sic] able to</p>
<p>ride so far, but having been instructed from youth</p>
<p>to an advanced age to go to meeting, that she departs not</p>
<p>from it, and just so it is with Father he talks of going</p>
<p>but I feel very much tried about he is so exceedingly</p>
<p>clumsy that sometimes when I see him standing</p>
<p>with one foot on the block and the other on the wagon</p>
<p>and not able to move one nor the other foot for some</p>
<p>little time, and people driving up behind, it is</p>
<p>difficult to keep ^his^ horse still, Edmund has spent some</p>
<p>days at his fathers, and somehow has enjoyed himself at fish^ing^</p>
<p>&c without much of our agency or attention, we always feel pleased</p>
<p>to see him bu the time always is so limited. we did not hear</p>
<p>of brother Isaac arrival home untill [sic] E. came but felt a con</p>
<p>-tentment about it, in this way that if he had not arrived we should</p>
<p>hear well affectionately farewell to all love MWW.</p>
<p>PS if my sisters cannot spare time to write</p>
<p>I hope brother Isaac will. I have hope of him.</p>

Westbury 6 Month 27 My Dear Isaac and Amy It is with feelings of despondency that I now take up my pen to inform you of the increasing debility of one dear sister Lydia who has been failing since you left here and quite rapidly for the last week she rode and I think while you were here was more poorly after it, continued to sweat very much, a great deal of distress, and her stomach increasingly weak so that she could not bear scarcely anything but we still had hope as she had been very feeble at other times and then recruit again, we were there perhaps the next week after you left she then spoke of the uncertainty of her recovery but for a little while she was more comfortable but fever come on and she has not been able ^to^ sleep scarcely any in 5 nights last night they thought perhaps 1/4 of an hour at ^3^ several times and one little nap to day her stomach refuses nearly every thing even arrow root at times Stephen went down after Minturn last 4 day he did not come until 5 day he found her more reduced than he expected said it would not do to give her any medicine at present that the digestion power had nearly ceased he made a change in some respects advised her taking ice and cold water if she liked and to subsist as much as might be an [obliterated]ppery down again for tea and to be bathed in pearlash water Stephen [obliterated] gone down again for him this afternoon (which [obliterated] day) last 5 day they gave her an injection with some morphine in hopeing [sic] that would cause her to sleep some, since which she has suffered exceedingly on account of difficulty in making water she seemes [sic] clothed with love spoke to us this afternoon of the probability of her leaving us said she looked forward to it with composure that she felt it would be a great relief to her when the ^time^ should come said I have always loved you and now I have nothing to leave with you but love said she was aware of its being hard to part spoke also of resignation which she felt to pervade her spirit desired her love to several of her nephews and nieces How forcibly I felt the truth of the saying "that it is better to go to the house of mournin" &c and the desire too "that I might die the death of the righteous and my end be like theirs" Phebe is there, Mother is at Henrys yet I should think she would go to Isaac soon We have hoped and we still hope but there is a very little probability of her recovery and I feel that we are not prepared to resign her Anna Smith is at Rachels very feeble but a little more comfortable to day I have pittied [sic] her in her lonely situation John Comley [sic] is at New York come on and attended Chester St meeting last 5 day have not heard much about his service there but Dr Wright said he was very close all around Affectionately your attached sister Mary In such seasons as the present how we want you here, probably sister P P as some one will write particularly soon they do not know that I have wrote M W P [Text in lower half of page, written downward] Westbury June 28 18/4 Isaac Post Rochester N Y
