Webster to Kendall
Wheeling January 31, 1853
Mr. Nathan Kendall Dear Sir
I thank you for the mark of friendship shown me in the request that I should give you the hand of fellowship at your ordination. Hand or not, the heart of it I do most cheerfully give you & most gladly will I come, if Mr. Bartlett will change with me either the Sabbath before or after. Please see him immediately * let me know.
We have been ready for an exchange for some time. My people positively need some Universalism once in a while & never more than now. They were pleased with Mr. B. at my ordination. I know he will come if he possibly can. If hem for any sufficient reason, cannot, on either Sunday, be here. Then I will reconsider the matter but cannot promise except in these conditions. I can pay the love? of the neglected reciprocities of friendship between us. But it has grown without them. I live the life of the heart. I do not require a common stimulant of friendship to keep it in use. Tell your sister this, I esteem you both. A strongest word I dare use. & thought I might have a stronger. Return the remembrance to her & believe me. Your spontaneous friend G N Webster
