of letters added to my former list.- Rackel Woodcock dies very suddenly on the 13th of this month. It is thought by Mr Mills & others that she gave very good evidence of being prepared for this great & last change, though I have nit learned that she said ay thing in her last hours that we may suppose she thought her change so near.- Her father was very much affected with her death.- When it was told him that she was dead, he fainted.

       I will transcribe the Cherokees letters & fill the blank places afterwards.
       Dear Brother                      I will now write to you, for I think you will wish to know about the church in this place. You will be glad to heat that none have turned back since you left. Last communion, four were received, and I think that Major Ridge, James Field & Rising Town, with five more, whos names I cannot tell you, will come before the session next communion.  I think there may be more, but I will tell you afterwards.- I feel thankful that you have been well since you have been confined in prison.  Since I wrote you, I have been well and the people about us are generally well.  I very often think about you and hope we shall meet again; but if we do not meet here, if we obey the commands of God, we shall meet in Heaven,  Mrs Downing sends her best love to you.  This is all I write to you now, my brother.  Archy Downing.
