which you my own dearest should earnestly study to possess. I very much fear we are both relaxing in our religious duties but we must not forsake our Heavenly parent whose ever watchful eye presides over all our actions, thoughts and intentions. "My secret thoughts are known to thee, even long before they are to me". The Williams and Mrs Hutton are making kind enquiries for you and asking why you did not come with me.
