MY DEAR BROTHER, - You did exceeding well in sending us so circumstantial an account of our dear sister Peck's death. We can only say, 'The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away.' He knows what is best for all His children. This is a loud call to all that knew her as a burning and a shining light, to you of Oxford in particular. Stir up the gift of God that is in you. Provoke one another to love and to good works. Who can tell which of you will be called next O be ready I Let Him find you watching! - I am
Your affectionate brother.
