Abstract
Some reflections by Edward Hitchcock on his thirty-fifth birthday in which Hitchcock expresses his wonder that he has lived to thirty-five with his poor health and also how little he has served God. He also describes what he hopes to achieve with his life, claiming he expects to earn only a small living but hopes to support his family enough that they should not be destitute if he were to die. He reflects upon the first of his sons, Edward Hitchcock, Jr., and writes a consecration prayer for him. Hitchcock, Jr., has noted on the final page that these pages include reflections and a consecrating prayer written the day after his own birth.
