Dear brother,
Since my last to you, I have been enabled to travel constantly. My health at the present is better than usual. My travels have been between the Penobscot and Androscoggin rivers. I have not tarried but a short time in any one place. I have felt to go and as I go preach that men should repent, and have enjoyed many refreshing seasons from the presence of the Lord, and have seen backsliders reclaimed and sinners converted, and have heard many of the saints praise the Lord. Since I last wrote to you I have baptized 28 persons where I have travelled.
I will just mention one glorious season which I witnessed in my last visit to the plantation No. 2, situated on the Canada road, west of the Kennebeck river. I spent ten days with the people in that place and attended eleven meetings, and baptized eleven persons, who were added to the church of Christ. I also attended to the ordinance of the Lord's supper, and saints rejoiced, sinners wept, and backsliders confessed their wanderings. I still feel a great desire never to come down from the walls until God, by death, shall remove me.
LEONARD HATHAWAY.
