Abstract
Letter to Susanna from Morgantown describing hot weather and working arduously in a farm's wheat and oat field. He mentions
the courthouse at Pruntytown being struck by lightening. He also gives his opinion about hypocrisy among church members saying
that they can no more "square their lives by the Great Moral Code than a jackass can square himself on a sharp edged rail
for a fiddler at a camp meeting of bull frogs."
