CONCORD, New HampshireAs Written:N. H., May 3.
My dear precious Benny

Oh how I wish your sweet prayer might be fulfilled. As it is I have to do most of the thinking, remembering, and all the guiding and then speak to blanks almost, or have to listen to a long jabber of why they did forget. Oh for grace and Love infinite to meet this finite woe. This nothingness of my observation on others so obstinate and self-assertiveAs Written:self assertive, so cruel, so mistaken, so blind, oh so hard now for me to handle

With love unfailing
Mother
