White Pigeon
May 25. 1832
My dear Wife
I am perfectly will, and doing well. Dont be alarmed at my being detained from home. If you should not see me till the middle of June. Don’t be uneasy: All is working for the best.
Something has gotten into the Papers about the Indians being troublesome. Pay no regard to it. I have only time to say that I preach every sunday to alleviate audiences and find friendly people and a most pleasant country. Plenty of Fish and Prarie [sic] Hens.
Do beg God to bless me I do you & the dear family. Your faithful & affectionate
Husband P. Chase
