[Letter] 1854 Feb. 13, Fredg. [Fredricksberg, Va.] to "my dear nephew" [John Albert Broadus] / William [F. Broaddus]. 1854.

Wrote about the church he pastored: "Our meetings are still quite interesting, though we are not now adding any white persons to the church. Our house is literally filled twice every Lord's day--and our Thursday night lectures are well attended. The number baptized in all is 85, of whom more than half are colored. We have raised our church building fund to $9,000; and would now be building, but for the fact that we met with difficulty in making a contract. We have adopted a plan, and have determined to venture as high as $12,000 but as yet we have not rec'd a bid less than $14,000."
