LynnEditorial Note: Lynn, Massachusetts May 28th
My dear Student,

I have just been conversing with a clergyman from HaverhillEditorial Note: Haverhill, Massachusetts, Mr. Damon, who says he is acquainted with your sister, Mrs. Whittier, and whom I am hoping will receive this great truth into his good and honest heart. He is a noble specimen of God and after conversing with him I was carried back to the hours when you and I have conversed with so much apparent pleasure together, when I have endeavored to teach you what I knew would be such a great blessing in your path, and not for any other motive but to do you good; and then Sarah, came the "cup" for me to drinkMatt 20:20 ¶Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. Matt 20:21 And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. Matt 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. Matt 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. that you As Written: your should deny me and say "all you ever had learned you had gained from Richard;" but the hour is now past, it has been drunkAs Written:drank, and I can now forgive it and do for all my students what many of them value above all things else.

I sometimes think of you among the others and perhaps you sometimes think of me but more frequently I go to you to bless and instruct you
