MY DEAR BROTHER, Whoever they were written by the rules are excellent rules; and I should have no objection to your printing them in the manner you mention.

I think if you used decoction of nettles every morning (if you have not done it already) it might restore your strength. I am, with love to Sister Valton, Your affectionate friend and brother.","word_count":98,"source_url":null,"themes":["social-holiness","works-mercy","assurance"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:23:14.170130"}]}
