The sender writes that he is enclosing a sheet with a few of his thoughts on "the recent visitations of Providence amongst us" and asks Perkins for his thoughts on it. Included is the document, dated February 10, 1840 and titled "The Dealings of Providence within this Mission." He writes that Providence has been calling for a revival by people within the Mission: firstly by sending word of successful missionary efforts in the Sandwich Islands amongst the "unlearned savages," secondly through sermons on the subject delivered by Perkins and others, and finally with smite as five children have now been taken away.

He lists several examples of people in the bible who illustrate this case. He then lists several inferences he believes can be drawn from this subject, saying this explains why so few prayers are answered and why it is dangerous to delay repentance. Hosea 5:15 is quoted. Edward Hitchcock sermon notes, 1833 February 7 Edward Hitchcock sermon notes, 1837 October Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864 Sermon notes by Edward Hitchcock for a sermon delivered at Amherst College in October 1837. Hitchcock claims that the college has been abandoned by God because the people are not ready to receive his mercy and grace. He asks when the community will seek God, followed by a list of situations that will lead to seeking God. However, he warns that it will be too late by then and that there is no promise that God will still be willing to offer his mercy at that point. Hosea 5:15 is quoted.
