Clergyman and missionary who was one of the last eight survivors of the Revolution (1762–1864). Two items: ALS signed “D. W.,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.75 x 7.75, December 26, 1861. Waldo writes from Syracuse about a sermon, in part: “In 1805, a few weeks after my wife’s derangment [sic], I preached on Peter…think it not strange concerning the fiery trial that is to try you…One of my good workers said to me—’How could you preach on that text!’ My reply was ‘Shall we receive good at the hand of God & not evil? The Lord gave & the Lord hath taketh away; & blessed be the name of the Lord.’ If we rightly understand divine Providence, we shall bless him for severe as well as for kind dealings. He often hides a smiling face behind a frowning providence. If we keep our heart so that it cannot reproach us as long as we live, we shall alway [sic] have a thank offering to present to our Heavenly Father…I hope your sermon will do the young men good, or prepare them to die gloriously in or out of battle”; and a 5.25 x 7.5 book page carte-de-visite photo of an aged Waldo. In very good condition, with uniform toning, some light spotting and staining to the letter, along with a few light spots of smudged or bleeding ink, and a pencil notation along the top edge; and two vertical creases passing through the photo, along with scattered light toning, soiling, and rippling to the affixed sheet. Accompanied by a 1958 copy of the book, American Heritage.
