[Letters written to the New Lebanon, N.Y., community]. 1822-1839.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/441863162

By 1822 the seed industry was providing a healthy income for the Shaker communities at Hancock, Mass., and, in New York, at Watervliet and New Lebanon. In a letter, members of the Watervliet community complain to the home ministry that the other two communities are selling seeds in their locality, thereby preventing them from making their own business a success. Letter from Watervliet dated 1839 details spiritual visits from Mother Ann and tells about visitors from the New York State legislature.
