I Believe All That God Ever Revealed,

Never Give Up An Old Tried Friend, Who Has Waded Through All Manner Of Toil, For Your Sake, And Throw Him Away Because Fools May Tell You He Has Some Faults.

We Are Looked Upon By God As Though We Were In Eternity; God Dwells In Eternity, And Does Not View Things As We Do.

We Think It Would Be Wise In You To Try To Git [sic] Influence By Offering To Print A Paper In Favor Of The Government As You Know We Are All Friends To The Constitution Yea True Friends To That Country For Which Our Fathers Bled.

The Important Consideration Is Not How Long We Can Live But How Well We Can Learn The Lesson Of Life, And Discharge Our Duties And Obligations To God And To One Another.

Never Be Discouraged. If I Were Sunk In The Lowest Pits Of Nova Scotia, With The Rocky Mountains Piled On Me, I Would Hang On, Exercise Faith, And Keep Up Good Courage, And I Would Come Out On Top.
