Description
An account of the resource
This is a letter from mother to child, where Elizabeth updates her son John of her husband’s hopefully growing interests in becoming a preacher. She also informs him of different family matters, including who is visiting, and relays the contents of letters from other family members. Lastly, Elizabeth alludes to a broken little society and the prospective formation of a new one (of this, I assume she is referring to town community gatherings, perhaps for select people). Elizabeth makes many religious references, referring to the power God has over their lives.

Description
An account of the resource
Elizabeth is writing to her son Frederic about things that happen and the things that she does in her daily life. She discusses his baby and her hope to see her grandson, who is possibly equal to the size of her son Theophilus. She updates him on what his other brothers and sisters are doing in other places or at home. She meets people in Northampton, has calls with people, and goes to church. In the end of the letter, she encouraged him to continue to work and add as much religious instruction to his work as he can.
