Text Any textual data included in the document Guilford Ohio Oct 7 - 1833 My Dear Sister Z I received on the 3rd of July by the hand of Mr Connerse a letter from you and also one from Sister N. These letters I have perused and reperused with much pleasure and satisfaction. I do not now recollect which of my sisters I wore last, and thought some of addressing you both conjointly, but fina- lly concluded as letters are in some meas- ure common property at both ends of "[u]Clinton's big ditch[/u]." I would address this to you and the next to Sister N. Your letters together with a call from Dr Con- nerse was to me a real treat. Mr Connerse brought me two pair of footings, a val uable present from Mother as I suppose for which she will please to accept my sincere thanks. As I wrote to brother Augustus since I was married, giving all necessary intelligence upon that subject, I need not say an thing relative to it here. The season has been unusually sickly in this town owing as is supposed to the spring freshets which raised the Chippewa to an unusual height and inundated considerable of the low land lying on its banks. The scarlet fever pre- vailed in the spring, and in the latter part of summer the billious fever has been prevailing. Of the last, I had an attack in the latter part of July, but by prompt and efficient remedies I succeeded in breaking up the fever, though I was very much reduced and mostly confined to my bed for a fortnight. I have been gain- ing strength ever since with exception of one or two ill terms, and my health is now about as good as usual. I suppose you will expect me this time to say some- thing about the [u]wife[/u]. Her health has been good ever since she came here, unless she has had some slight touches of the disease commonly called [u]home-sickness[/u]. She took good care of me in my sickness and I trust will in ever respect answer my expectations. I find that worldly cares are somewhat increased by marriage, though I hope to get more settled by and by also not to let the cares of this world so much interfere with my studies. We have been keeping house, or rather keeping room for about three months. We began almost with out furniture or provisions, but have been getting one thing after another till we begin to live quite comfortable. We want but one thing more to make us happy and that is a [u]heart wholy devoted to the service of God[/u]. I expect in a few weeks to move into a log cabin. I have been buying and selling land considerably of late. The people moved the site of their meetinghouse after I purchased last win- ter, and in consequence I have sold the lot of land I then bought, and have pur- chased again near the site they last fixed upon and where the house is now raised. For the first lot I gave two hundred dollars and sold it for two hundred and seventy five. The last, which contains about fifty acres, twenty five improved having a log barn, two cabin houses, a cabin shop, a good well and a small orchard, cost me six hundred dollars. As this is situated on both sides of the turnpike and is near the village it is considered very cheap. Land is rising with astonishing rapidity. I shall get possession of my place in about ten months if nothing unexpected occurs, when you may imagine [illegible] [?seated?] down comfortably in a snug log cabin by a [u]good log fire[/u], and glad should I be if you could be in our little circle. I saw Mrs Connerse about a fortnight ago and was glad to learn that you thought some of coming and spending some time in Ohio. I wish you could. We greatly need school teachers. I have no doubt you might spend your time here very pleasantly and profitably. The state of religion is extremely low in this region. About two weeks since we held a five days meeting in Harrisville. Mrs N. and myself attending the meeting from the beginning to the close. The latter part of the meeting was very interesting. The church seemed to be humbled under a sense of unfaithfulness, and some cases of hope- ful conversion occurred towards the close of the meeting. We staid at Dr DeWitts, the place where Sarah Connerse now resides. We contemplate noting other protract- ed meetings in the county soon and may perhaps have one here in the course of the winter. I have already joined a much more extensive acquaintance with a much more extensive acquaintance with the people in this region than I ever had in any other place I have lived. I have many sterling friends in this country and hope to spend my days in this region somewhere. I wish when you write me again you would send me the family record as I forget some of you ages. I ardently desire to see you all but when I shall, if ever, God only knows. We shall all soon have done our work and be in eternity, and may we all at last meet in heaven. [Note: Address here] The season past has been very productive though the thought in the latter part of sumer was considerably severe. We have apples and peaches in abundance. I wish you to write me all about the people in W as I feel deeply interested in their prosperity and wilfare. And while you enjoy the sweets of the pa- ternal fireside, forget not your Ohio brother. My love to all who may inquire after me. Yours in fraternal affection V.N.
