On January 17, 1770, when Westerlo was 31 years old and had been in
Albany for nine years, he sat down to describe his life’s path up to that
point. Naturally, the first 21 years, in the Netherlands, play a prominent
role. The handwritten eight pages in folio [6 pages of typed, translated
text] also mention his rebirth experience on April 20, 1768.

On December 22, 1774, almost five years after the first part, Westerlo
added eight more pages, mainly about his work as a minister. He
mentions some of the books he uses and the names of friends and others
who have helped him along the way.
