yours with much respect. Nancy Reece

 Rev'd John Johnson

Respected Sir, As you were so kind as mention us in particular in your letter to Mr. Elsworth. I thought I ought write to you, as the other girls were writing to Mr. Evarts. The piece you desired to read is very interesting and I think we could be like that girl if we were to try. We can see the difference between the girls in this school and the Chackinnau? girl. After Miss Ames reads it to us I thought that we ought to try and be like her. I know very well that we have not tryed so much to have new hearts as she did, when I think about the judgement day and that it may come and find me unpreserved and that God's word tells us that "the wicked will call for the rocks and mountain to fall on them and hide them from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. I then think I see the importance of being prepared to meet God, and I say in my heart I will try to seek religion. But then my attention is taken up with other things and I forget these promises. I then think sure God will leave me if I do not exert myself more then I have done. I often think happy the children of God will be in the day of judgement when they find the Saviour their friend. Dear society continues yet. We have not forwarded any money
