My dearest Sister
I hope the anxiety of your Mind is much abased sincs the
appearance of the Measles. Fear not but your dear little Girl
will be again restored to you but my Love if the contrary
should happen I know you will submissively consider it as
being the Will of God. Believe me my sister that our
Afflictions are often Blessings in disguise. The
Scriptures say unsearchable are the Ways of Providence
and past finding out If He thinks fit to take
her she will then be your little angel Daughter
think my dear what sweet Reflections shuch
reasoning with yourself may (in Time) afford {?to}
you. To be delivered whilst innocent from the
Troubles of this Life and everlastingly to enjoy
the Society of Angels may perhaps permited
too to gaurd (tho’ invisibly) her fond Parent from
future harm and administer comfort in the hour
of distress – want of Time has I fear made
me write quite incoherently but ‘tis what I know
you will excuse.
I am most affectionately
Yours EH
