Brother Joseph,
My great desire to be in your com pany & in the Assembly
of the Saints where God opnes [opens] the heavens & exhibits the treasures
of eternity is
the only thing that has stimulated me for a number of days past to
leave my house; for be assured, dear brother, my
bod ily affliction is severe; I have a violent <cough> more
especially nights, which deprives me of my appetite, & my strength fails,
& writing has a particular tendency to injure my lungs while I
am under the influence of such a cough I therefore, with reluctance
send your journal
to you untill my health improves
Yours
in heart
Warren Parrish
