            <text> (2)&#13;
ten miles of [u]Boston[/u]  when&#13;
under all the circumstances&#13;
it is extremely improbable&#13;
that any incorrect expression&#13;
would have been inscribed&#13;
in that particular monument.&#13;
So I came very fully to &#13;
the conclusion that any criticism&#13;
on it was hypercritical and&#13;
I think it is a much more&#13;
graceful form than "Fell&#13;
asleep in Jesus."  And that&#13;
is on Frank's so it did not &#13;
seem as though we wished&#13;
to use just the same form &#13;
if another would answer &#13;
as well as better -  You&#13;
did not notice it one the&#13;
copy of the inscriptions that&#13;
I sent you - some time&#13;
before the monument came&#13;
  I remember you wrote&#13;
back that you liked them&#13;
but perhaps you were to &#13;
hurried to notice carefully&#13;
I do not remember how the&#13;
&#13;
letters are cut. I think they&#13;
are all small capitals and&#13;
if so perhaps the world Fell&#13;
might still be cut before the&#13;
asleep in Jesus.      I like&#13;
it [u]very much better[/u] without&#13;
but if the rest prefer to have&#13;
it and it can be changed&#13;
I shall be quite willing. It&#13;
seems very nice to me to have&#13;
just the same on Father's &#13;
and Uncle Josiah's and I &#13;
have always hoped that when &#13;
they get a monument for&#13;
Uncle Augustus they will&#13;
put the same words on his.&#13;
It would seem to me pleasant&#13;
to think that the three brothers&#13;
sleeping in three different states&#13;
should have the same words&#13;
on the monuments that mark&#13;
their resting places -- I hope&#13;
that Henry will like the &#13;
monument. I wish we&#13;
could have had for Mother&#13;
the words  "In thy presence&#13;
&#13;
is fullness of joy-"  Perhaps&#13;
we would have liked them&#13;
better than  "And so shall&#13;
we be ever with the Lord" -&#13;
and we could not have them&#13;
both . I do not know which&#13;
to think but I am very glad&#13;
and thankful that the&#13;
monument is so satisfactory.&#13;
I seem to think of that spot&#13;
in the cemetery as [u]home[/u] now&#13;
even more than the "home&#13;
on the hill-"   It seems as&#13;
though the heart is taken&#13;
out of that and it will only&#13;
be ours a few years at most&#13;
but it seems as though after we&#13;
are all in heaven that place&#13;
in the cemetery will still belong&#13;
to us.  We cannot know what&#13;
changes may come in the&#13;
coming years but I suppose&#13;
there can be little doubt that&#13;
those of us (I hope it may be &#13;
all) who are laid to rest there &#13;
will rise and greet each&#13;
&#13;
other then in the glad&#13;
resurrection morning, at least&#13;
that is the way that Talmage &#13;
puts it.  I am sure we&#13;
shall be very glad to have&#13;
our bodies again and they&#13;
will have had a long enough&#13;
rest never to grow tired or&#13;
[u]rheumatic[/u] again . I am&#13;
glad we are not obliged to&#13;
believe that the time that&#13;
intervenes between that time &#13;
and this is a long sleep for&#13;
the soul as well as the body.&#13;
 How many different ideas &#13;
are cherished and how little&#13;
we can really know - but I&#13;
should like to know that we&#13;
would all have part in the first&#13;
resurrection and that it will&#13;
really be before the millenium&#13;
then I think we would not&#13;
have to wait long until "We &#13;
shall be satisfied when we&#13;
awake with  Thy likeness"&#13;
But I do not suppose we shall&#13;
[Note: Continues sideways in the right margin]&#13;
need for wait until the resurrection to be [u]satisfied[/u]&#13;
&#13;

(2) 在波士顿 10 英里处，&#13;
在任何情况下都极不可能在该特定纪念碑上刻有任何不正确的表述。&#13;
所以我非常充分地得出结论，&#13;
对它的任何批评都是过分批评的，&#13;
我认为这是一种比“在耶稣里睡着了”更优雅的形式。&#13;
那是在弗兰克的，&#13;
所以我们似乎不希望使用相同的形式，&#13;
如果另一个人会回答得更好 - 你没有注意到它是我寄给你的铭文副本 - 在纪念碑之前的一段时间来了，&#13;
我记得你回信说你喜欢它们，&#13;
但也许你要赶紧仔细注意，&#13;
我不记得这些字母是怎么剪的。&#13;
我认为它们都是小首都，&#13;
如果是这样，&#13;
也许世界在耶稣里沉睡之前仍然会被切割。&#13;
我更喜欢没有它，&#13;
但如果其他人更愿意拥有它并且可以改变它，&#13;
我将非常愿意。&#13;
对我来说，&#13;
在父亲和乔西亚叔叔的身上有同样的感觉非常好，&#13;
我一直希望当他们为奥古斯都叔叔建造一座纪念碑时，&#13;
他们也会在他的身上写上同样的文字。&#13;
在我看来，&#13;
睡在三个不同州的三兄弟应该在标记他们安息地的纪念碑上写同样的文字，&#13;
这在我看来是令人愉快的——我希望亨利会喜欢这座纪念碑。&#13;
我希望我们能对母亲说“在你面前充满欢乐——”也许我们会比“我们将永远与主同在”更喜欢它们——我们不能同时拥有它们。&#13;
我不知道该怎么想，&#13;
但我很高兴也很感谢这座纪念碑如此令人满意。&#13;
比起“山上的家”，&#13;
我现在似乎把墓地里的那个地方当成了家——似乎心已经被抽走了，&#13;
最多只有几年的时间，&#13;
但似乎尽管在我们都在天堂之后，&#13;
墓地中的那个地方仍然属于我们。&#13;
我们不知道未来几年会发生什么变化，&#13;
但我想毫无疑问，&#13;
我们这些安葬在那里的人（我希望这可能是全部）将在复活的快乐早晨起床并互相问候，&#13;
至少 Talmage 是这么说的。&#13;
我相信我们会很高兴再次拥有我们的身体，&#13;
他们将有足够长的休息时间，&#13;
不再感到疲倦或风湿。&#13;
我很高兴我们没有义务相信介于这段时间和现在之间的时间是灵魂和身体的长时间睡眠。&#13;
有多少不同的想法被珍视，&#13;
而我们真正知道的很少——但我想知道我们都会参与第一次复活，&#13;
而且真的会在千禧年之前，&#13;
然后我想我们不必等太久，&#13;
直到“当我们醒来与你的相像时，&#13;
我们会感到满足” 但我不认为我们将 &#13;
[注：继续右侧页边空白] &#13;
需要等到复活才能满足</text>
