write more next time. Your brother in the church Charles Fields.

My dear brother, I wish to write a few line to you. I have been well ever since you left. I think I try to do as God has commanded me; and I mean to try as long as I live. I do not know how long God means that I should live in this world. I hope I shall not forget that I ought to serve Him as long as he "not clear" that I should stay here. I do not think I shall not tired praying while I remain in this world.- This season, while we were making sugar, I went one evening with my family to meeting art Brother Downing's camp, and while we were there, my camp took fire & all our things were burned. It was a loss to us but I remembered that God did it, and that it was done while we had gone to hear His word, so thought it would be wrong to be 'not clear". Chloe send her best love. Your brother Cornelier.

      Dear Brother                       I send my love to you.  I try to pray for you and I try to pray for all our neighbours that they may be blest.  This letter I write that you may hear of my trouble.  We are so far from each other, you can not hear any other way.  We have lost one of the members of our church, but we have the hope that we shall meet her again in Heaven.- I have not only lost my wife, but am disappointed in having no one to call me father; to I am afflicted in two deaths.  But I can rejoice in thinking they are safe in Heaven.  I have reason to think my wife is in Heaven, for she tryed to serve God & payed a great deal.  She would wake up in the night & pray.  When she died, I felt that God only lent us our friends a little while on earth, but I felt that He had done right.  Now I have spoken to you on paper, & if we never meet to speak as we used to,  I think we shall meet with out Father in Heaven.  Big Cabbin & Jenny send a great deal of love, & would be glad to write, but could not come to your house very well today. I hope I shall hear from you soon.    Your affectionate  brother,  Jonas Woodcock.

Dr Butter, my brother I wish to tell you, how do? and let you know that I am well and glad to hear that you are well. I am living with Mr C. Fields at the place where his father used to live. Your brother Daylight

     Docter Butter, I wish to say a few words to you. After my love to you, I am happy to inform that I am well , & that my wife & children are well also.  I hear people talking about the Court at the great City, and I look for you every day.  I should be very glad to see you about here, as I used to see you, if God thinks.
