<​25 Decr.​> On Chris This morning I was aroused <​about 1 oclock​> by an English Sister <​named (Lettice Rushton Wo. [widow] of Richard Rushton Senr.​> who ten years ago lost her sight—) she was accompanied by three of her sons & <​with​> their wives and her two daughters with their husbands, and several of her neighbors & friends singing “Mortals awake with Angels join” &c which caused a thrill of [illegible] <​pleasure​> to run thro my soul as tho I had been all of my family & boarders arose to hear the serenade, and I felt to thank my Heavenly Father for their visit & blessed them in the name of the Lord. They also visited my brother who was awakened from his sleep, he arose & went down <​out of doors​> to them, <​he shook hands with​> and blessed each one of them in the name of the Lord & said that he thought <​at first​> that a cohort of angels had come to visit him, it was such an heavenly sound <​music​> to him— &c [p. 88a]
