Abstract:
His wife has been afflicted with "bodily & mental sufferings." Thankful for God's mercies. Hopes to have a good religious effect on St. Louis, which has recently seen a shift from vice to respectability. "...a harvest of probably 50 souls in 1832 was reaped thro' the unworthy instrumentality of the Presbyterian chh... But they are a feeble & despised set of Christians." Was unable to earn a living as a school teacher in Carrollton, [Illinois], because of "so much sectional prejudice against a Yankee & so much sectarian feeling against a Presbyterian." Notes on bills paid and owed, urging Russell to pay his bill for the "Youth's Companion" in advance.
