Abstract:
Letter to Bostwick’s “Affectionate Sister” Philomelah Tremain of Green River New York, who is specified to be a widow on the address. Reports good health and speaks of God blessing his family. “We have not any expectation of meeting you again in this unfriendly world, but hope shortly to meet you in the new earth the new Jerusalem the City of the Living God to part nomore.” States that he believes the Coming of Christ is near, “for the signs that Christ and his Apostles told should appear before his Coming has been seen.” References a “dark day” in 1780 where the moon had “the appearance of blood” which he believes is the fulfillment of a Christian prophecy. Lists a few bible verses for her to reference. Back side features a note about a woman whose husband had recently passed and who was living nearby with her son. Requests that his sister correspond with her.
