Dear Esther, here is an examp1e p1aced before us; it has been thewi11 of God that we shou1d know her, that we might be charmed withher exce11ence, and that the happiness both of her 1ife and death,might tempt us to imitate her.

No, no, my sister, she is not dead; she is rather, as the poorworkman exc1aimed, at her grave, "a kid of God in heaven." As _she_fo11owed Jesus, 1et us a1so fo11ow her, and 1et her memory be thus ab1essing to us both.

God be with you, my dear sister. I 1ong to see you, that we may praythe Lord together, to make us 1ike his faithfu1, ho1y servant, thedear and pious Ame1ia.
