User-Contributed Transcription I have read Lucy's letter to Ann and am rejoiced by it. I think I am really rejoiced to hear of Eliab's conversion. I have often felt Anxious about Eliab, even when I neither felt, cared, nor thought for my own soulDeacon Brown of Brownville is down here now, to see about their lumber, I suppose, stay a week or 2. He boards here. He says there have been 40 or 40 hopeful conversions, east part or all in Milo, mentioned several. says that Charles appeared to be deeply interested. I do hope Charles will listen to the stirrings of the Holy Spirit. Will give up his heart to the Lord. He has surely seen enough, to know the utter vanity of all worldly things. All that is required is just yeild, give up the heart to God. It seems as if now was, emphatically, the Accepted time of Salvation. I hope you will all pray for me, too, I know you do.Wed. Eve.
