You told me once to write to you whenever I felt that I must. I hope I am not disobedient now. I never suffered as I did after my visit to ConcordEditorial Note: Concord, New Hampshire, except when my dear children passed on. but I thank God I have not been tempted to question for one moment, the wisdom, that is guiding. I will be awake. I will do just as you told us. Why should I not? for to your guidance I owe all that I am and all that I have. How I love Dr. Eddy! - and would to God I could help him, but as I see it, it must be hands off, God's lesson must be learned by him alone. I cannot refrain from telling you and yet I know that you know it all how thankful I am that I read with Judge Hanna, for I learn a lesson every time, from his glorious manhood, gained, I see so plainly, through his meekness, and childlike obedience. Though the call to read, caused a hard fight with self - I am so thankful now for it - for I had to come up higher to stand. How I long to see your dear face once more with a happy smile. I will strive to be faithful, and so smooth one little part of the way-

With a heart full of love dear Mother–
