Roger Williams on Display
Each of the letters on display are originals, where Roger put pen to paper and his thoughts became tangible.
On Thursday, February 15th from 4:00 to 8:00 PM an original letter, written by Roger Williams, will be on display at the Roger Williams National Memorial visitor center in Providence.
This month’s letter was written in early 1661/2 and is addressed to the town of Providence, as he calls them, his loving neighbors and friends.
In this letter Williams looks to remind them of their special duty; that if they wish for God’s blessings, they must watch out and care for others.
