Diary, 1834-1842 (bulk 1841, Aug. 25-1842, Feb. 13.).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/24349286

Platt, at age 80, made entries pertaining to his private religious thought, scripture passages, death, and his good deeds, including visiting the sick and dying. Several references are made to his minister Dr. Campbell, probably the Rev. William Henry Campbell, pastor of Third Reformed Church of Albany from 1841-1848. An entry on Jan. 13, 1842, discusses a struggle by Baptists to take control of a local asylum as seen from his perspective as a member of its board of directors. The first two pages include a poem and a copy of a letter (January 30, 1834) about a subscription to the Education Society.
