1829 Andrew Wylie to Margaret Ritchie Wylie, Washington, Pennsylvania Phila May 25 th 1829 Dear Margaret I arrived safely in the city on Thursday morning last about 4 hours before the meeting of the Assembly. I have enjoyed perfect health since I left home & had a very agreeable journey, neither dust nor rain greatly to incommode us. I lodge with Ambrose White an Elder of the 1st presbyterian church, where I am very comfortably situated. We have the prospect of a long & tedious session before us, full of business. John, Ellen & Jane [Ritchie] arrived in the city two or three days ago. They are all well. I have not had time yet to call & see them, only I met with John in William’s store. William [Ritchie] is not yet married, but it is talked of. Please let Mr. McKinnan know that on my way down I received the following information from Mr Hoff, namely, that Dr. Baxter president of Washington College Virginia wishes to leave his present situation on account of the slavery which prevails there. He wishes to move to a free state, & Mr. Hoff who is well ac quainted with him thinks he would accept of the congregation & College at Washington. He possesses considerable wealth a[nd] a great salary would not be necessary. Mr Hoff says he is a very superior man. This moment Wm has come to see me & to engage me to perform the marriage ceremony for him & his loved one tomorrow evening!! I am not yet fully determined whether to return directly from the meetings of the Assembly or to take the route through New England as originally designed. I should like to receive a letter from you. I hope you are all well. You & our dear children are much on my heart & I try to bear you there before a throne of grace. There is no help or safety for us but from thence. I have felt more sensibly than ever since I left you the importance of living near to God & drawing all our comforts hopes & consolations from his mercy in Christ Jesus as promised in the gospel to the peni tent & believing. May we feel our need of Christ more & more & live by faith upon him. We have much reason to bless God for all his goodness to us & to our family. There is one thing that we ought to desire for them above all earthly good, that they may become the subjects of divine grace & the King of Eternal life. Give my love to them all, & believe me to be in the bonds of the tenderest & sincerest affection your loving husband A. Wylie Mrs M. Wylie viii 1
