1 Nov 19th My dear Brother Daniel This is Monday forenoon I thought I would have a talk with you today mostly as to the
course I think you had better pursue if you mean to be a machinest or inventor But just as I sat down I looked out the window
and couldnt think what that long illegible carriages m illegible so solemly till Joan that they illegible preceded by a hearse.
For any sake Dan remember that you must die But a very little while and you will be buried. You are very ambitious you wish
to be as high up as any body if not head and shoulders higher I do not mean by this to dampen your energies but rather to
instill new life into them God has a work for you and he has given you a life to do it and though it may well be salled a
anbor life God sits mighty consequences to the end of it illegible then Daniel but Oh be sure God has you by the hand Spend
your life as you may, it will soon be spent Commit your ways to God do all as in his sight to his glory and all shall be everlastingly
well
