3846. IMMORTALITY, Belief in.—

The
term is not very distant, at which we are to
deposit in the same cerement, our sorrows
and suffering bodies, and to ascend in essence
to an ecstatic meeting with the friends
we have loved and lost, and whom we shall
still love and never lose again.—
To John Adams. Washington ed. vii, 108. Ford ed., x, 114.
(M. 1818)
