My dear and only sister, living as a servant with
Mrs ---, was so ill that I came here to attend in her place and on
her. But now she is no more.
"I was going to intreat you to write to her in answer to this, she
being convinced of the evil of her past life, and that she had not
walked in the ways of God, nor sought to please Him. But she
earnestly desired to do so. This makes me have a comfortable hope
that she is gone to glory, and that she is now joining in sweet
concert with the angelic host in heaven to sing the wonders of
redeeming love. I hope I may now write, 'Blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord.'
"She expressed a desire to receive the Lord's Supper, and commemorate
his precious death and sufferings. I told her, as well as I was able,
what it was to receive Christ into her heart; but as her weakness of
body increased, she did not mention it again. She seemed quite
resigned before she died. I do hope she is gone from a world of death
and sin, to be with God for ever.
"Sir, I hope you will not be offended with me, a poor ignorant person,
to take such a liberty as to write to you. But I trust, as you are
called to instruct sinners in the ways of God, you will bear with me,
and be so kind to answer this wrote letter, and give me some
instructions.
