New Orleans 5th April 5632
Revd. S. Morais

Dear Sir,
I was deeply pained at learning yesterday, thro a letter from my brother, of the sad loss you had sustained. The bereavement is one too keen to find much alleviation from words of human comfort, tho I feel it would be unbecoming as it is unneces--sary for me to remind you of those blessed sources of consolation, which God, in His mercy, has given us in His revealed assurances of help in time of trouble, when vain is the help of man. These means of Heavenly strength to one of your training, habits, and thoughts have readily been found; and I can but ask to add my offerings of sincere and heartfelt sympathy, which I beg you will accept.
Whilst we must recognize the severity of the blow, which has prostrated so many home-joys, yet not utterly bereft of these are you left. Dear children are still spared you to bring back light to your present darkness; and may these grow in the fear of God, and as so many staffs as your years decline. Most unfeignedly and earnestly do I invoke for you and them the blessings of the God of our fathers; and if tearfully you now feel as tho [Hebrew], yet may He grant a return of happiness, and "renew your days as of old!"
My wife & family desire to unite with me in these assurances of deep & friendly sympathy.
Believe me, dear sir,
Yours truly
