Little Union Primitive Baptist Church
Letter
February 24, 185?
Bartow, Polk County, Florida
Mr. J. E. Rushing, Kind Brother
Please ask the Church for me to let my membership remain with you for the present as I am not near a Church of our faith and Order. There is a Church within 4 miles of me but they have no preacher the next 21 or 14 miles, Mount Enon and Mount Olive. I will send you a minute of the Mt Enon association that Brother E. Z. Hull gave me. There is a good many baptist in the upper part of this State but they seem to be a little Scatening here in South Florida. I am well pleased with this county. Wages are much better here than in GA but this State is a long ways behind GA as a farming country in wnter but I guess it is awful hot in summer. I hope to meet you all again. I ought to have writen to you sooner. Enclosed find one dollar bro Bro Story and my best regards for yourself.
W. F. Britt
