| Description: | Your very welcome missive by the hand of Annie, could not have been otherwise
perused than with some mental effect. I always feel sad, when I think of those
who once were our brother
associates; but they are gone, & their graves, we can not but think, are
the monuments of living spirits, whose bodies have assumed originality. There is
a time for sadness & a time for pleasure; & of the former, we
ought to be submissive as possible,
knowing that it proceeds from afflictions, bereavements, &c. inflicted
for our benefit. |
