Abstract:
Will be heading to New Orleans, as the cheese market is doing poorly in Cincinnati. Nervous about his "exposure to sickness & sudden death," questioning his readiness to die and whether he has been faithful enough. Attended a local church, noting that "3 Missionaries were ordained 2 to western Africa one to the Sandwich Isl[an]ds." Sold his mother's cheese at Lane Theological Seminary, "it was snacked at by the faculty like hot Cakes & all sold in les[s] than 1/2 an hour." John Q. Adams (1767-1848) is expected to arrive in Cincinnati shortly. "...the Ladies make a great Tea party for the old Hero of equal rights & appropriate the avails to the benefit of the poor in the City."
