My dear Wife
I have preached this morning in the Capitol. The President was there and a great audience. Brother Dudley gave me your letter with the inclusions of Mr Allen’s and Mr P[?]s letters. God be praised that this great work is accomplished! Brother D’y will give me his bond for the money tomorrow. As for Mr B Allen’s condition about my furnishing letters for his book (not mine) – It is all a [judge]. The money no doubt has been subscribed: if so it will be paid. He must be romancing and I have told him so. I am sorry that he even for a moment thought that I could be influenced by anything held out in this way.
I shall preach this evening in Mr Johns Congregation in the City Hall.
May God bless you all
Your faithful & loving Hus’d
P Chase
