bound to her's since my earliest years. God bless her on earth and prolong her life in peace and comfort. May His blessing rest upon you all. As for myself I am resigned, and bow my head in submission to the Divine will. My love to my sister and brother Cary; God's blessing on them and you. To all my friends and relatives a long farewell. Let the Howards know I thought of them to the last, and let Mrs. Pegram also know that she and her nieces were continually in my thought.
God in His infinite mercy grant that these lines may reach you. 1 write them in full faith and confidence in help of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Your loving brother,
J. M. AMBLER.
