Abstract
Sidney Brooks letter to his brother in which he writes regarding his thoughts on Christianity. He describes how he previously felt that religion was something irksome and prayer was a task, but he now feels differently and thinks that "the yoke is easy and the burden is light" as he states Christ said. He elaborates on this feeling and writes that he never enjoys himself more than when he can draw near to God in prayer. Brooks begins the letter "Dear Brother." It has not been determined to which of his two brothers he is referring: Henry Cobb Brooks or Obed Brooks, Jr. This letter appears to be a draft.
