MY DEAR ALLECK, My mind is exactly the same towards you as it has been for several years; with this only difference (which is very natural), that the longer I know you the more I love you. I am not soon tired of my friends. My brother laughs at me, and says, ' Nay, it signifies nothing to tell you anything; for whomsoever you once love you will love on through thick and thin.'... As I have frequently observed to you, I am still persuaded it is chiefly your body which presses down your soul; and if it please God to heal your body, I doubt not your mind will be far easier. I do not at all despair of seeing you an happy man, full of joy and peace in believing. Look up, and expect Him that is mighty to save. I am, dear Alleck, Yours most affectionately.","word_count":157,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","social-holiness","universal-redemption"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:16:13.557785"}]}
