Abstract
Notes by Edward Hitchcock discussing the idea of a change occurring within those who join the church, possibly intended to be read by Mrs. Henry Hitchcock. Hitchcock notes that a Mr. Williston may be correct that a "gracious change" may occur, but he hazards against assuming that all people experience this change equally. Hitchcock maintains that one's experience and upbringing may influence whether or not they feel changed by accepting Christ. Hitchcock suggests that one should judge one's own temper and disposition rather than comparing oneself to others. On the verso are the words "Decr 1817 age 23" in ink and "to Mrs. Henry Hitchcock" in pencil, as well as a poem that has been entirely crossed out.
