User-Contributed Transcription Dear Nettie, What can I say to you to comfort you? I will pray God that your life may be precious in his sight, that you may be restored to health and that He will comfort you, and sustain you in your great affliction. Trust, Trust, This is what we need to learn. God is faithful to perform all his promises and more, I know this. I have seen it with my own eyes, and heard with my own ears, and have felt it, and it has comforted me, and if he has been faithful with the dear ones whom he has called to himself, will he not be faithful with us if we are found faithful to him? Yes He will. I wish that it might be best for all for you to come here, I hope that it may, but how little can we tell of the future, or what is best even for ourselves. I trust we may be guided by wisdom from above in all thingsWith very much loveSamuel
