from home on a journey
through the lakes: Alas! there
is only one great consolation --
to trust in God! and do all
the good we can to our fellow
sufferers, and those in need of
our help, and comforting assist-
ance. The dear poor girl whose
letter I enclose to you is a most
needy and worthy (sister) and
daughter of the Lord, whom I have
longed to aid, but have not the
needed means: she lived in my
sons family--he whom she calls the
Doctor--and his dear little child
[Morcet?]--whom Lizzie so kindly speaks
of in her letter; now my great
anxiety is to have her placed under
your care my dear Mrs. Stanford
or have her be your attendant
because of the mild climate in
winter, and, for the purpose of
getting some leisure to improve
her mind; she is a lovely lady
like girl, and would be
most devoted to you: and am
sure you would never regret any
aid extended to her. If you
did not find her worthy, then
you need not hesitate to send
her again, to us--or place her
in one of the schools you have
made so helpful to girls and
women . Life is short--that to aid
even one person aright is all
one may do, unless one is blessed
with wealth; May I humbly
ask the kindness of an answer
to make plans for Lizzie for the
winter in case you may think favorably
of aiding her. Am sincerely yours
with sympathy Anna H H Addams
