Philadelphia 8th June 1854
Ladies
I thank you for the [?]-intense joy which at this moment fills my very soul. I thank you, because on the eve of my departure, when my mind was absorbed by saddening strength, the token of your regard infused a glow of delight within me. But if I am highly gratified at the presentation of your beautiful gift, how shall I adequately express my thanks for the touching manner in which it was conveyed?
Like the inspired bard I exclaim "This am I Oh Go! that Him hast brought me to this?"
Not long since I was a total stranger among you, and now I carry within me the assur=ance of having soon your affection. May the Almighty who vouchsafed thus to bless me, ever be praised; may the feelings which we reciprocally entertain never change, and may He grant that I may see you again above and happy in the bosoms of
your respective families
I subscribe myself
Ladies
your obedient Servant
