"Marshfield, Vermont, August 17, 1840. My Dear and Absent Children: I rejoice that I have an opportunity of conveying a line to you direct as we have reason to think you do not receive all we send by your not writing oftener. We have had no communication from you since you wrote Jerusha last winter. We often think and speak of you and your little family. How I long to see you all but when I realize the goodness of God in sparing our lives and the blessings which we are receiving from his hand, I [not legible] to rejoice and render thanksgiving and praise to his great and holy name for his long suffering mercy and tender compassion. I am at present enjoying a comfortable state of health. All the infirmities of old age are creeping upon me. Reason teaches me that my time is short. I shall soon be numbered with the dead. I shudder to look back upon my lost life, my misspent opportunities with my children, my misgivings and shortcomings. But we read that the blood of Christ cleanses from all sin. All he requires of us is to give ourselves unreservedly to him, put our trust and confidence in him and strive to seek his peace and favor and do his will on earth that we might have an entrance into his kingdom when we are called into eternity. We have received a letter from Wesley a few days past. They have been called to pass through the furnace of affliction, sickness and death in their family. For three years Wesley has been shaking with the ague in the summer months. His health is improving. He is this summer able to labor a part of the time. They had a son born last fall, lived three months and died a most distressing death with a sore in his throat. Sarah was very sick. Her life despaired of for some time. She now is regaining her health. Let us sympathize with our afflicted friends and pray that their strength might be equal to their day. We are now living in this place of our family and are enjoying health which is only two out of twelve of my children. Truman lives in Montpelier. His wife has been confined to her room ever since April with a disease upon her lungs. There is but little prospect of her recovery . Jerusha has another son. She is very comfortable. Laura is with her. Laura has been out of health, has not been able to labor since last January until about six weeks past. Cynthia and family was well the last time we heard from them. Your Aunt Naomi's health about as usual only she is growing old with me . Maryann is in Mass . . . . in the town of Springfield. Clarissa in Boston and where William is cannot tell. The last we heard from him he was in Horace's family, had been sick with the fever and ague. We live in a world of changes. Sorrow, sickness and death is the news of the day. Let us not set our affections on things below but may we lay up a treasure in heaven where moth nor rust will not corrupt nor thieves do not break through nor steal. Since I commenced writing we have had a paper from William. An Ohio paper. We conclude by that he is still residing there. Where is Abigail? Is she still with you or has she left? How is her health? How does she enjoy herself? If there she must share with you in this letter our love and good wishes. I must ask a few more questions. Has Damaris forgotten Grandma and her aunts? Does she have the privilege of schooling and how does she improve? You have two that I have never seen. Tell them I want to see them. Kiss them for me and let them know they have friends in Vermont. Are you making any calculations ever to visit us again? Your Uncle Joshua's health is as good as it was when you left. He is very lame. Melinda is improving, her health is gaining. Ruth is married, has two children, lives in Waitsfield. I need not write you the news of the day. You will have an opportunity to inquire. Do write by Mr. Spencer your joys and your sorrows. I feel an interest in your welfare both for you spiritually and temporally. Let us improve our time as it passes to the glory of God, the good of our own souls, and the good and happiness of our fellow creatures. Monday, August 31 - since writing the above Cynthia has been here and stayed with us three days and Jerusha has been out with her babe four days . . . . . . that any of my children can visit me. I hope that you will make your calculations to come another fall if consistent. I know that it is a long and tiresome journey but we want to see you but your own interest must be taken into consideration. Do write often. Adieu my dear children. I shall remain your affectionate friend and Mother. Damaris Pitkin" At the time of the 1850 census, Damaris was living with her son Stephen and his wife Hannah.
