I can-not tell you how grateful I feel for your offer to place at my disposal the sum named, In it I recognize a kind Providence, For sometime past in the course of my visiting I have not with many cases, of sickness etc, that ready money only would reach. In my efforts to do this I have been painfully reminded of the slenderness of my own purse. But with their demands I have found my personal needs growing less, so with the prospect of the sum you propose to send, in addition to what I may be able to spare. I feel that many hearts may be gladdened, through relief afforded their bodily necessities. I therefore thank God, as well as you.You rightly judge that I am very happy in my work. All life's interests deepen so. with ones
