My dear Mr Morais-
Your kind note, was the first intimation, we had that sickness & death had visited your family. The loss of a child is always felt--especially, by its mother, and I do feel for your daughter Rebecca for, I know the sorrow & grief felt for the loss of an infant God took two, out of my flock--& I have never ceased
to grieve for them, or to remember!! but you have a great example before you for, when Solomons son was ill, he prayed & fasted, but when they told him, the child was "dead," he rose up & did eat & left off praying, for he said I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.
The weather has been so wintry & inclement that none of my daughters could go to express sympathy with your daughters, but they all feel it, as well as myself.
And, now let me congratulate you, my dear Mr Morais upon having attained the 41st year of your ministry in our congregation! and you may well say, with Samuel "whose oz, have I taken! or whose ass have I taken! or whom have I defrauded, or of whose hand have I received any bribe and, I will return it to you."
But, you can lay your hand upon your heart, I like Samuel, feel the power of a clear conscience within Yours ever respectfully Sara Mordecai - Identifier
