Letter signed Gr. von Phul, St. Louis, to [John Breckinridge?]. Religious theme. I showed my last letter to you to my sister. She returned it without speaking of it – I feel assured that it is the will of God. I should remain silent on the subject for some time longer. (Gift of John Richardson Thomas and Henry von Phul Thomas, St. Louis, January 1954), [1819] Jan 27
