Louisville Ky 8 March 1859
Revd. and Dear Sir
I have delayed until the last moment to write in the hope of having something favorable to add; but in vain. There are two or three who partially promise to become subscribers if it become a Weekly, but would like to see it first and object to paying in advance.
In congregational matters all is quiet with us, and I believe likewise with the others in some degree. They are preparing for a second Confirmation on Hebrew: I send you herewith one of the Catechisms.
What I have marked with double lines is strongly objected to by Pope Gerstle; but the moderator Gotthelf has satisfied him that it will not do to slash too deeply at first. I need not comment thereon, and leave it entirely optional with you to notice the choice morceau. Last year 15 were confirmed, of, whom only one (father and son) observes the Sabbath: so much for consistency: and from a knowledge of the parties generally, I suspect the new batch will be the same. The } is mine.
I hope soon to have better news, and may success attend you in all your praiseworthy exertions is the sincere wish of Revd. and Dear Sir Truly Yours
A. I. H. Bernal
Mr B. and Mr & Mrs Hassan present their best respects and kind regards. - Identifier
