• Notes

  Last letter from Nathaniel Tarr to his children. "A father's last message to his sons and daughters.I am in my seventh ninthy[sic] year so must be drawing near to the end of my earthly pilgrimage, i would like to let you all know how thankful i am to our Heavenly Father for sparing Ma and I to see you all grow up to man and womanhood, And I thank God that you are living honest and sober lives. My last message to you all is to give yourselves to Christ, and live pure and holy Christian lives so that when you have to leave this earth you will be found prepared to enter that eternal rest that God has prepared for all that love and serve him here below. May God's blessing attend you all through life, and at last land you all safe on those Heavenly shores, is the earnest prayer of your ever loving, old father. What a grand and glorious thing it will be if when that last great trumpet sounds i can look round and see you all there, where we meet to part no more. May the blessing of God rest on you all till we meet in that better land Your ever loving and aff[?] father Nat Tarr Feathersone, 30 October 1921 A copy of this to be written for each child, don't forget Leslie, N.T. Emm to keep this."
