is at rest, but Oh if it is true as I verily believe that we shall live again
that we are immortal what a glorious hope of the Christian to dwell
with the xxdxmsmx redeemed to live with Jesus who died to redeem us to
_ be forever with the Lord I trust my Brother was one of the number who
will rise in the First resarection and oh my god may I be Prepared and

not recall you I would not see you suffer again as I have done in the
Past 12 months for I feel while I am writing this you are enjoying the
Eternal Bliss of Heaven and it will ever afford me the greatest joy in
life to think of you and the many others who have gone before, up among
the Angels with Jesus and oh may I be Permitted to meet you up there
will ever be my Prayer
