A Letter to Susan H. Hardy
December 25, 1866
It is the beautiful morning of Christmas. I feel very bright
and happy, and I am thankful to Heavenly Father for his remarkable
care on me from the time of my landing on Boston till now, as you
know yourself surely. . . . The communion of the church in the
Seminary will be observed in the next Sunday. I shall join to it in
that time and shall be baptized in the name of Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost. Perhaps you will be very busy on the last day of this week,
therefore I dare not say: "Please come up here and spend the next
Sabbath with me." But I should be very happy to have you and
Mr. Hardy present at the communion season. . . .
