LETTER OF
The GOSPEL TRUTH CHARLES G. FINNEY
1856
To Julia Finney
31 January 1856
[MS in Finney Papers, Supplement # 54]
Rochester 31st Feb. 1856.
Dear Julia.
How do you do. We have
been expecting a letter from you.
We suppose you have been very
busy with your music & very
much delighted with your
visit to Uncles. I send you
a check of $20. If you need
more let me know in due
time. James will get the
check cashed. & Aunt will
advise you about the use of
it. The Lord is reviving his
work powerfully, & of course our
hands & hearts & time are full.
Julia while the Lord is saving
souls here dont neglect your own
my Darling Child.
I am too busy to write more at
present. Give a great deal of love
[page 2]
to Uncle & Aunt & James &
Ange & Cousin Fanny.
Let us hear from
you often.
Your aff. Father
C. G. Finney.
Footnote:
It seems probable that Finney had meant to write either 31st Jan. or 1st Feb. On the other hand 1856 was a leap-year and Finney may have inadvertently written 31 instead of 29.
