Letter to Rachel Denison
K.Ch.190210
Phila. Feb. 10th, 1819
To Mrs. Rachel Denison,
Dear Sister,
Tomorrow is fixed on for my consecration. A [mass] of evidence from New Orleans has made my friends rejoice and [mine] enemies ashamed. I need now the prayers of my pious friends for the grace of [humility] and forgiveness more than ever. Do let me have yours.
On Friday with the leave of Divine Providence I shall start for the West to see my loved family. I have often seen the [?] of whom you, your good husband and myself convened the evening before I left you in [Royalton]. Your advice on that subject I shall probably follow. A long time however will lapse before the [?] will be consummated. In the meanwhile I hope for your good wishes.
Do remember me most affectionately to your good husband and embrace your dear children for the sake of your loving brother,
Philander Chase
