Yours rec'dExpanded:received. I am sorry I wrote so abruptly. You are not and were not frightened I meant only one simple instance. Do you remember you promised me that you would not take the Dr to board any moreCorrected:anymore. It seems I was directed to gain that promise so as to save him from being made subject to the machinationes now used to break up the household at 385 Com. Ave. I did not know why I requested this when I named it to you but I do see it now. It is all right now for the Dr retured Corrected: returned when I wrote to him and I hope we shall break the plot of the adersaryCorrected:adversary. Now, again I ask, do not be deceived by the enemy, I want to have the Dr. hold that house and occupy it so that Mrs. Otterson who pays me a good price for it cannot be driven out of it, but have a peaceful stopping place when she goes to attend the Quarterly church meetings. This is her right, and a small pay for the rent she pays. But the last time she was in BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts she stopped over at the Hotel! This grieved me. I hope and think that the Dr. will not go away again and shut up the house without letting me know it. Such things may cause Mrs. O. to give up her rent, and I have nobody to look after these trouble someCorrected:troublesome things for me, and I ought not to have them to care for. My dear God knows this if non [?] Unclear or illegible e else does.

Now put it all out of your mind only to remember my requstCorrected:request – Your face, when I saw you, showed as mine does a weariness or care — that I want you to rise above. So I gave you the argument. Your forgetfulness is not strange with so much as you have to attend to. God loves you for your fidelity to Him and so do I. "Be not afraid it is IMatt 14:22 ¶And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. Matt 14:23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. Matt 14:24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. Matt 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. Matt 14:26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. Matt 14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. Mark 6:45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. Mark 6:46 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray. Mark 6:47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. Mark 6:48 And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them. Mark 6:49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: Mark 6:50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. John 6:16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, John 6:17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. John 6:18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. John 6:19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. John 6:20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. John 6:21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
