[Letter], December 26, 1804, New Lebanon, N.Y., [to recent converts in Kentucky and adjacent states].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/441863074

In addition to Meacham this letter is signed by Amos Hammond, Ebenezar Coolby, and Stephen Markham. It proclaims that three missionaries were on their way westward to help recent converts understand better the ways of Shaker life. Among the declarations made in this letter is one that is a basic tenet of Shaker belief: "We therefore as servants of Christ and children of the resurrection testify to all people that Christ hath made his second appearance here upon Earth and the poor lost children of men knoweth it not."
