MY DEAR SISTER, Hitherto God has helped us. As the weather last night was exceeding rough, the captain did not think advisable to sail; for which I was not sorry. We expect to sail this morning, as it seems the storm is over; and probably we shall see Helvoetsluys to-morrow. Sally and my other companions are in perfect health, and are all in good spirits; knowing that they are under His protection whom the winds and the seas obey. I am, my dear sister, Your affectionate brother.","word_count":95,"source_url":null,"themes":["works-piety","assurance","catholic-spirit"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:18:47.845518"}]}
