Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription noble qualities, and those tender feelings for each other, without which life would be a burden and associates a curse. Let us cultivate these feelings as much as possible, that, we may render ourselves & others happy, and thus fulfil one of the noble ends for which we were created. A few short hours, and you & I must separate, each to retire to his respective home, - you to see a mother & sisters from whom you have long been separated, - I to [be with] my parents & sisters. Soon we are to separate for weeks, months, and perhaps years, and possibly never to meet this side the spirit land, -but shall we cease to remember each other? --I trust not. For my part, this happy period which we have spent together will never be effaced from memory. In conclusion, Brother Kendall, I would say persevere in your laudable course, strike to render yourself as useful as possible, and may that being who watches over us, guide you to eminence & felicity. Please to keep this in remembrance of your pupil, friend and brother. B.L. Raper.N. Kendall
