Green introduces Rev. Dr. Keith, a minister from the congregational church in Charleston, SC. He believes Morse will receive much pleasure from both Keith's preaching and his conversations. Green apologizes for not writing often, citing that his work keeps him very busy. An undated blurb from the Newark Daily Advertiser is attached to the letter. It discusses how Green's diary and papers will make a valuable addition to the historical literature of the early republic.
