User-Contributed Transcription be the business of my future life as you are doubtless already aware that is the Gospel ministry. An early answer to the question whether I may be allowed to cherish the fond hope I have expressed above will be a great relief to those feeling now severely agitated by suspense & as I fondly hope, will secure to me that glowing tranquility, which is in your power to confer by a word of encouragement to my urgent suit.As I have not made this avowal of my highest regards for & earnest solicitation from you without mature reflection and much prayer so I trust you will seek the counsel of High Heaven and confer with your worthy Mother before you dictate an answer.Let me say here that your favor of Dec. was gratefully rec'd and read with interest. I expect to leave for College in about give weeks. Anxiously hoping for a favourable reply. I am, dearest Lucy Yours sincerely - James NewtonMiss Lucy H. Metcalfe
