Various concerns and activities of a new, outlying Shaker community are discussed in letters to the New Lebanon, N.Y., ministry. Some mention is made of the Sodus Bay, N.Y., community's sending wood products, including cherry timber and wood for broom handles and bannisters, to New Lebanon. One letter comments about the settlement of the debt of Dr. Mot, an upstate-New York resident, for seeds sent to him by the New Lebanon Shakers. Statements, both positive and negative, about the characters and talents of some of the Sodus Bay residents are made. Optimistic reports about converts are related, and daily activities, such as fence mending and making, clearing land, and plowing, are detailed.
