Letter from David Hull to son George C Hull

Letter

St. Joseph Museums

1: Zanesville Jany 1st/62
Dear Georgy, As we are again disappointed in our hope and expectations of having you with us at home during the holidays I can only wish you a “Happy New Year” on paper which I do with an earnestness and warmth of feeling which I apprehend is not always felt in offering the customary congratulations of the season Preferring at the same time silent but fervent petitions to the Throne of Grace that you may be kept by divine power “pure and unspotted from the stains of the world” Unless you feel continually a sense of your weakness. Of your danger
