Abstract
Sidney Brooks letter to his sister in which he apologizes for taking so long to write to her on the subject of the letter, especially since she requested it. He goes on to say that it gives him great satisfaction to think that she is now interested in spiritual things and has an appetite for religious conversation. Brooks writes regarding Christian religion, his hesitations and desires to write to his sister on the topic, the failings and sins of Christians, his personal experiences with Christianity, the Bible, and Christian religious beliefs such as God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, Judgement Day, and Salvation. Brooks begins the letter "Dear Sister." It has not been determined to which of his three sisters he is referring: Sarah Godfrey Brooks, Harriett Newell, or Tamesin Brooks. This letter appears to be a draft.
