happiness to hope for in his

life, yet he was your husband

and the circumstances attending his

death must be very sad to you.

With you I am glad he did not

die from the immediate effects

of dissipation & hope he died

in favor with his God. I

believe Richard, often tried to

live a christian life but he

was so weak his purposes

soon were defeated by his dreadf

ful appetite. I too can but

think his case very similar

to Edward in Bitter sweet

You are now situated as you

were before you were married

Let not the bitter experience of

the past two years paralize your

energies but gird yourself for

future duties & the healing

hand of time may bring much

of happiness to you yet.
