It is to such minds that I attempt to unfold the blessed gospel…Our friends at home have no idea of the ignorance of the heathen & of the difficulty of bringing the gospel to bear on their minds. You can get no adequate idea of the degradation of mind which exists in a heathen country by comparing the people with the most ignorant in the States…" His postscript mentions his wife Sarah's health "P.S. Mrs S's health has been feeble for more than a year past. The hardships & exposures have been too much for her. Last autumn it became evident that her spine was affected…". (Image1)

I think a spirit of infatuation has gone abroad over these lands. Pride on one side and jealousy of the other will cause much blood spilled before this creach is made up. God grant us a speedy reconcilliation and prevent us become to each other, what the Benjamites and Isrealites were — a scourge." No late account from northward, later then the 5th, then Montgomerie lay before Quebec and had given them 24 hours to consider of a surrender, or sending the woman & the children out of town, preceeding his commencing a bombardment, - I wish myself out of this country with all my heart, but my situation wont admit it yet".The Battle of Quebec was fought on December 31, 1775, between American Continental Army forces and the British defenders of Quebec City early in the American Revolutionary War. The battle was the first major defeat of the war for the Americans, and it came with heavy losses. General Richard Montgomery was killed, Benedict Arnold was wounded, and Daniel Morgan and more than 400 men were taken prisoner. The city's garrison, a motley assortment of regular troops and militia led by Quebec's provincial governor, General Guy Carleton, suffered a small number of casualties. (Image1)
