User-Contributed Transcription I enjoy reading so much better when I am alone that I find I must set a guard upon myself or my eyes will complain of meI wish you would tell me what you think of the Albany Convention and the controversy between Congregationalists and Presbyterians if it may be call a controversy which I hope will result in greater love and zeal for the cause of Christ by all everywhere - But O how much harder it does seem to be to promote the cause of truth than that of error - because men love darkness better than lightHow very little the light of Christ does shine in his profess'd followers to what it ought to I have hoped thro' mercy infinite and glorious that Christ is mine and I am his but O how all my life has seem'd to contradict itGod bless you my dear children and incline your hearts to all good and to pray for you,Mother A.M.M.
