26th Sunday This is a lovely Sabbath morning a little cold for the
season 2, the late dry windy weather had dried the•ground amd it is now in
good condition for ploughing &c Went to church this morning Elder Crow
preached e I went down to Mrs Hopkins in the evening and found her dead
she died a short time before I got there she was an Estimable old Lady
and I trust her spirit is nc.;/at rest with its saviour- and god in a conver-
sation with her a few days ago she spoke feelingly of her daughter who died
but a few weeks age I tried to console her as best I could under the cir-
cumstances little thinking that would be our last conversation this side
of the grave but such it proved to be that fond and loving daughter was
only taken a few days before her aged parent and I hope this night they
are reunited where parting will be no more where the sorrows of this life
I are forever over and a saviours presence is a well spring of joy forever
