I shall
not see you again for a long time, and I am very sorry. I
have no Nannie now. I have given you back to Jesus, your
Friend--your Papa who is in heaven. He is above you, but He
is always near you. When we ask things from Him, that is
praying to Him; and if you do or say a naughty thing ask Him
to pardon you, and bless you, and make you one of his
children. Love Jesus much, for He loves you, and He came and
died for you. Oh, how good Jesus is! I love Him, and I shall
love Him as long as I live. You must love Him too, and you
must love your brothers and mamma, and never tease them or be
naughty, for Jesus does not like to see
naughtiness.--Good-bye, my dear Nannie,
D. LIVINGSTON."
Among his other occupations at Cape Town, Livingstone put himself under
the instructions of the Astronomer-Royal, Mr. (afterward Sir Thomas)
Maclear, who became one of his best and most esteemed friends. His
object was to qualify himself more thoroughly for taking observations
that would give perfect accuracy to his geographical explorations.
