33. OF A LETTER FROM A GENTLEMAN TO HIS FRIEND IN MARYLAND, DATED LAURENCE ALLNUT, KENTUCKY RIVER, AUGUST 15, 1801. [NOTE: THE GENTLEMAN WHO SENT THIS LETTER, WAS VERY PARTICULAR IN HIS STATEMENTS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT HAS BEEN MISLAID AND ONLY A PART OF THE SUBSTANCE HAS BEEN RETAINED.]

"I must call your attention to the glorious work of God in this place. Not long since, religion appeared to be at a very low ebb here, but last winter there appeared a great anxiety in people generally to hear the gospel; and numbers have been made to cry out, "Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved?" and I will add, many of our accomplished Deists have been made to bow the knee, and throw down their weapons of rebellion."
