friends or relations to whom you might hereafter
send a parcel - I have written my Sister and hope that
you may find in her a help-meet indeed
not frustrate the grace of God but be found the companion
Mary has chosen the better part - a friend of thy
youth - a kind instructor as well the mother of thy chil-
-dren - they soothes in affliction and they support in the
declining days of life - As a friend I almost envy you as
a brother I rejoice at your happiness - May our Covenant
Keeping God in Christ Jesus may Bless you both Grant
you a double portion of His Holy Spirit - Guide
you through life & at last receive up into Glory
is the fervent prayer of Your Sincere

And Affectionate Br
Thos Hassall
