ifisted. I have ever regarded&#13;
such tokens of affection with&#13;
grateful remembrance for this &#13;
act of benevolence, &amp; kindness,&#13;
may you be abundantly re-&#13;
warded. That the blessing&#13;
&#13;
of God may rest upon you &#13;
is the wish of one, who I trust&#13;
will ever take a deep, &amp; lively&#13;
interest in your temporal &#13;
and external welfare. That&#13;
the recipient of our favor&#13;
may be quickened in duty&#13;
is the sincere wish of your&#13;
pastors wife&#13;
