Rev. S Morais.
Do not my dear friend think, that because I have not addressed you ere this, that I have not felt for you in the sad calamity which has lately befallen you and yours. I have delayed writing to you, for I know not what to say. I heard with feelings of pain regret and sorrow, of the great bereavement which our good Father in Heaven, in His Divine Wisdom had deemed fit to afflict you with, and to one so good and pious as you are, what can man say to assuage your grief. Our mutual trust in Him, and our firm belief that what He does is right must comfort you in this your hour of severe trial.
Of the departed one, peace be to her, I one of her old friends can testify to her
her sterling worth, to her devotion to her God and her religion, and as a faithful wife, mother, and friend, we all know that she was not surpassed. Although I know that you must be bound down with grief over this your irreparable loss, I know dear friend, that you will be comforted; our God will spread his p[?] of peace over your aching heart, and for the sake of those dear ones left to you, you will try to bear up under this sore affliction. For yourself, daughter and younger children, please accept the kindest and heartfelt sympathies of my wife, Mrs Spanier and family, and that our God may cause you to be comforted, is the wish and hope of your true friend
