read the text until I took
it to Mr Hewes to give you
Ps. 119, [92] "Unless the Law had
been my delight I should
have perished in mine af-
fliction." It seemed to me
it was a voice sent from
the Bible as well as Dr Lathrop
The text must have been a
comfort to you Your afflic-
tion was so sad, "What love
what loveliness what agony
does that one word only rep-
resent"

Mine was an only child God
has spared her and given her
these two little ones

It will give me pleasure to
hear from you till then
I am yours in family
bonds

E B C Lathrop
