MAY God Almighty by his power and great Mercy preserve that kind friend under the care of his protection! I received great pleasure from the honor of perusing your excellent letter which was directed to this sincere wellwisher; and my whole time is spent in wishing to see that source of life, and little of my time passes without remembering you.
I expect that, until the news of the honor of a joyful meeting, you will remember me by letter or message. Since that is my wish I have troubled you with nothing more.
