Van Nuys, H. L.
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Bro [J. H. Van Nuys?]
Describes progress in the roofing of the local church and briefly mentions the difficulty in obtaining funds. Expresses regret that the war continues, but observes, "Yet certainly the war can't stop here, or at any point short of a submission of the rebels. That were suicide to the government." Also expresses doubt about his spirituality: "I find my own soul alarmingly cold to all spiritual things." The letter includes a list of resolutions offered, discussed, and adopted at the last meeting of the Vannuys family.
