Rev Sir
You will undoubtedly be pleased to hear, that in this Backwood Country there where assembled on the Day of atone-ment a few of our people to praise the Lord on high. We meet to the number of thirteen at the house of Mr Kensel, who lives about twenty miles north of this Place, on Lands belonging to the late menomienee purchase so you will, that the Land are not even sold yet to actual settlers, and yet in that wilder_ness where a few of Gods choosen ones assembled to sing praises to his name. We had everything to make the Day pass off, according to ancient usage There was Hebrew and Hebrew belonging to Mr Kusel and there was also in our small congregation a Hebrew and a Hebrew and everything went off to the satis=faction of every body present. Knowing that you take a great intress in everything concerning our holy faith, I send you this Lines thinking that the will be read by you with pleasure

and if you should see fit to publish the same in the next number of the Occi-dent, you will oblige very much your most obd. Servant
