Rev. Leonard Tracy was a Baptist minister who served as pastor to congregations is New Hampshire and Vermont. January 21, 1824, he was ordained pastor of the Claremont New Hampshire Baptist Church. He also served as pastor of a Baptist congregation in Burlington Vermont.  This letter, addressed to East Bethel, Vermont, was written by his wife Martha and brings him up to date on the happenings of the last week.  Her affection for him is quite clear at the outset when she opens with "My dear, dear Husband"  She closes the page and a half missive with concern about her husband's well being because the weather has been very bad.  Excellent and easy read. Slight separations where page folds cross. Full early Newport postmark.
