Sister L. and myself attended the association at Granvill.  We went in company with Eld Sawyer and wife.  L and myself put up at Mr. Evets near the meetinghouse  Mrs. E said she was some acquainted with you- said you had been there once or twice and preached with them  I learnt by Eld McCullen who had been at white creek a few days since that our friends in that place were all well.  Cousin Isaac is married to a girl brought up by Mr. Laws.  I hoped to have seen Hiram and Sally at the assocn but did not.  Mrs. Buckland the wife of the baptist minister in Middleton informed me that they were well-  We had an agreeable session- good news from the churches in general- many of them had experienced revivals.  I looked for cousin Levy Wait but could not find him.  I saw a young lady from Auburn N.Y. who is acquainted with Elder Frist.  She is his warm friend- says he is generally extremed [?] - still retains his pecularities and has many enemies --- Br Isaac remains at Bristol- when he wrote last thought some of sitting in that place <s>when he wrote last</s> but had not determined  We expect every day to hear from him.  If he removes his family this fall they will go this month.  I am sorry to say that the information in this place appears to be in the decline.  I shall leave the particulars concerning the work of God in the place, for Mama to communicate as she wishes to occupy a small part of this sheet.  I hope I have experienced some refreshing in my own mind: but still I have much reason to lament my stupidity.  I hope, my dear, you enjoy the sweet breathings of the holy Spirit and feel an increasing attachment and devotedness to the cause of <s>Your</s> God,  
Yours affectionately Sally Wait.

The E taking your Br by the hand Stepping toward the watter Stopping as by impulse citing the atention of the assembly to those children gave a short  pathetic adress which drew tears from my eyes
