Summary
Commends his eulogy on the death of [David] Rittenhouse. Has not yet had an opportunity to look at the "Illustrations of the Prophecies"- will do so when he returns to New York City. The times are evil, but the one consolation is that the affliction of nations are controlled by a just and benevolent God.
