My Dear Pastor
Permit me to offer you my sincere sympathy, in the sad bereavements which (my cousine informed me) has befallen you. To loose the beloved companion whose affection & care made homes happy, is indeed a severe trial! One, I can full appreciate-- having endured much sorrow & loss both my parents as you know,
under the afflicting dispensations it pleases our Heavenly Father to send, we all look to you for words of comfort & encour-agements! & your heart will more fully realize others sorrows from your own sad experience. I have never forgotten how kindly your ministrations were offered me when needed at the time of my last trial ten years ago. Let me hope, that in the training, of the dependants children, left to your guidance
bereft of a mother's tender watch-fulness, will help you, to bear more patiently your own great loneliness! I am now enduring great mental anxiety as an aunt advanced in years who has been a second mother to me—is in a very critical & I fear alarming condition. Should she be called from me, I should feel even more than ever the loneliness of my orphanhood. Trusting you may find consolation where you teach us it above, may be obtained! I remain yours
Respty & Sincerely, Josephine Etting. - Identifier
