land as large as Olle’s and Johan’s put together, but I have not
yet paid for it and do not know how soon I shall be able to do so.
Perhaps I shall not be able to keep it, but I am just as contented
for I have other matters beside tilling the soil to attend (my
work is to till the hearts and sow in them the good seed of the
Word). If Herman comes, he could take my land and cultivate it
on his own account, and then he and you too would have
plenty to do. But this is enough about this matter. If you really
want to come to America, come in the name of the Lord. I wish
neither to urge nor dissuade you. Our congregation is called
New Sweden (Nya Sverige) and it looks quite a bit like Sweden
here. We have woods, lakes, valleys, and hills, but no mountains.
The climate is invigorating and healthy, but the winters are long
and tedious. If you decide to come here next spring, you must
answer this as soon as you receive it; for in that event I must
needs write you once more before spring and give you further
instructions how to conduct yourself during the trip.

1 cannot write any more this time, but God grant you all,
dear brothers and sisters, his grace and protection. May His
mercy be bounteous unto you all and may you come to the
knowledge of truth and become partakers of the inheritance of the
Saints. May we all meet in the joy of the Lord, that is my
prayer to the God of Israel. Most cordial greetings to all
relatives and to my dear grandfather.

From your most devoted brother,

Andrew Jackson.
