through the grace of God we See the Sight of another day,
and been priliged to meet round the family after this
Morning with Mr Grew in prayr, my heart has been [?]
through with a dart and is broken,
O that Every one loved prayr and the people of God,
young people are precious in the Sight of God and of good men,
When they are truly what they ought to be-noble minded,
courageous, diligent, modest, pious, humble, docile
willing to employ all there energies for the welfare of
there families full of respect towards their superiors, and
desirous of keeping the commandments.

She was Speaking of my Dear Son and [?] that he told his
that he never was well after [?] in the water, he Said
that [?] be the mean of his death, O was Sorrow ever like
mine, it pleased God to Spare his life a little Longer,
