| MR. BRAINERD had a large acquaintance and correspondence, especially
in the latter part of his life, and he did much at writing letters
to his absent friends; but the most of his acquaintance living at a great
distance from me, I have not been able to obtain copies of many that he
wrote: however, the greater part of those which I have seen, are such as
appear to me of profitable tendency, and worthy of the public view: I have
therefore here added a few of his letters.
N.B. Several of these which follow, are not published at large, because
some parts of them were concerning particular affairs of a private nature.
