In a letter published in the Midnight Cry, Josiah Litch reaffirms his belief that key biblical prophetic periods, including the 2300 days ending in spring 1843 and timelines tied to papal captivity in 1798-1799, have concluded without the expected events like resurrection occurring.

MILLERISM.--The last Midnight Cry contains a letter from Mr. Josiah Litch on the termination of the prophetic periods. The following extracts will show his present position.
"I now firmly believe, as I have for the last six years, that the 2300 days only reach to the spring of A. D. 1843, I think the anniversary of the ascension."
"The prophetic times, as we have understood them, may now be fairly considered as at an end.- Brother Miller's time, which was between March 21, 1843, and March 21, 1844, is gone."
"I have looked upon the 1335 days of Dan. xii. 12, as extending beyond the 2300 days and reaching to the resurrection. Their termination cannot be far distant. I have looked with great interest for some months past to the anniversary of the captivity of the pope, which took place March 27th, A. D. 1799. The papal government was abolished Feb. 15, 1798, but the pope was not led into captivity until 1799. I have thought that might have been the end of the 1290 days as 1798 was of the 1260. But the day has gone by and I have no more time to count."

Josiah Litch expresses belief that the 2300 prophetic days end in spring 1843, around the ascension anniversary; Miller's time from March 21, 1843, to March 21, 1844, has passed; the 1335 days extend to resurrection, with 1290 and 1260 days linked to papal events in 1798-1799, now also expired without fulfillment.
