Memoir of Henrietta: a life of self examination and faith
The memoir recounts Henrietta's early devotion to Christ, daily self examination from age sixteen, and writing her thoughts to instruct friends. At seventeen she confesses sin, seeks constant prayer, and longs to redeem time, finding true pleasure in prayer over worldly amusements. Her cheerful temper and charity are noted, yet her diary reveals longing for greater religious devotion amid sorrow, with her Northampton family under Rev. John Ryland’s ministry.
