I am sensible of your love to us hope you dont doubt of our love to you my constant love and concern is for your temporal and eternal welfair- hope your various employments wont take your mind of from the greatest things of the Greatest moment these is no compare between time & eternite between the forever of God and the friendships of the world
you are in the midst of temptations enemies within as well as enemies without if it should be suggested such a sin is littel Let it be [[illegible]] is the end a Little hell
Let us reverence conscience now it will be as a thousand witnesses
Let us labour more and more to know our State own Savior except a man be born again he cant enter into the kingdom of heaven Leet us plead his free Grace
I commit you to the care of a kind providence
I remain your Ever
Effectionate mother
