Description
An account of the resource
This letter is part of a correspondence between Elizabeth Huntington and Frederic Dan Huntington. In the letter, Elizabeth refuses to satisfy Frederic, citing God and reason as her rational. However, to show her affection, she attached a pair of socks, which she knit herself, in the hopes of keeping him warm as the winter approaches. Elizabeth also hopes to gain more information about Frederic’s family and parish through “Bethia”, whom is visiting. She then inquires about Frederic’s new hired man, and hopes he works as hard, as well as listens to the gospel as much as Frederic. She offers Hannah a mother’s magazine to help her with her new boy-though apologizes for how old it is. She notes that Theophilus reluctantly enjoyed reading the Christ Doctrine. Winter is fast approaching, and with it brings the end of mourning. She closes with a wish that God will allow them to meet and to never separate. Lastly, she remarks on the joy of reading the second volume Greenwood’s sermons at family Sabbath.
