Abstract:
Renewing correspondence, "as you are now a great man at least an Hon. having been to the legislature." Comments on Long Island, access to New York City, ships in the Long Island Sound, and a "fine manufacturing village" on the island along with a "large tin factory." Local school and church doing well, with the church having recently profited from a revival. "There was in many churches during the winter on the island quite a spirit of revival and many were the places where God in a special manner was present and I suppose you was in Boston during the great awakening there these past few months." Longs for "righteous legislators in our national councils and that the spirit of our fathers might rest upon us that we might as a people in all things acknowledge the hand of God and strive to keep his commands." Congress seems "to be slowly working out the difficult problem of reconstruction and I hope we May yet do justice to both black & white." Believes the "Christian Church" has a duty to lead the nation.
