- Abstract
- Has been living with General Sullivan's family. "Conversation in the family for some days past has been chiefly upon religious subjects." The General has written "30 pages in quarto to prove the Existence of a Supreme Being, the divinity of the Bible and that Jesus is the Saviour of the world". Provisions for the army are 3 weeks overdue. British raids nearby have scourged the countryside. Advises Jerusha to apply to Captain Jones or Dr. Sargeant for farming help if it is needed.
