User-Contributed Transcription Feb 16 57Dear Mary your letter was duly recd the perusal of which with pleasure, gave me much pain. From my present state of mind I hardly know how to address you. The death of R is to me very unexpected but am led to ask how the high toned sympathy of that blessed Father and Mother, who had placed so much confidence in him could bear up under it but it is through faith in him whose chastening rod they feel willing to kiss with perfect submission but must feel their loss deeply very deeply, I felt to mourn the loss with you all it is not a loss to you alone but to all that knew him
