Dear Esther, here is an example placed before us; it has been thewill of God that we should know her, that we might be charmed withher excellence, and that the gladness both of her life and death,might tempt us to imitate her.
No, no, my sister, she is not dead; she is rather, as the poorworkman exclaimed, at her grave, "a child of God in heaven." As _she_followed Jesus, let us also follow her, and let her memory be thus ablessing to us both.
God be with you, my dear sister. I long to look at you, that we may praythe Lord together, to make us like his faithful, holy servant, thedear and pious Amelia.
