Abstract:
Tom's friends are concerned for him on account of "the painful and perilous situation which you have so long sustained, & the share of calamity which we understood you have yourself bourne," possibly in reference to British attacks on Saco, Maine, in 1814. Tom wrote of the recent hardships suffered by his city as "the dispensation of God, & seem to look to his mercy and goodness as the only hope of deliverance." Inquires of Tom's sincerity in this statement and whether it has caused him religious reformation. Notes Tom's former retreat from religious conviction. " May I hope that the awful scenes [a]round you have awakened you to see and feel what it is to live and to die 'without God and without hope.' "
