reason to Bless the great Good Spirit that he has not left
me in my weakness as to entirely cast down, but teaches me
to know and feel my own weakness more & more and depen-
dance on him who is able to teach, which no man can teach-
eth, and leadeth his through the Dark & the Deep.
I often remember thy address to us in the Letter, as in the
Language of the Apostle, second Corinthians 13 & 11, Final-
ly Brethren farewell, be of good comfort; be perfect, be
of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love & peace be
with you. I have nothing particular to inform thee,
but with grief that Religion has been low among us since
last year, yet I hope there are few who still seaking
after the Mercy and teachings of the good Spirit.

I salute thee, thy dear Husband, I remain thy Sin-
cere friend & Sister, in hast Lydia Hendrick
