Excerpt from The Annual Monitor, Vol. 21: For 1863, or Obituary of the Members of the Society of Friends, in Great Britain and Ireland, for the Year 1862
Louie and Emily continue very delicate, and we know not whether they will be permitted very long to brighten our earthly home. But great as the trial is to think Of parting, for I would fain have had my children lay my head in the grave, I trust that He who has in mercy seen it right thus to aflict us, is through this fire, even, purify ing our hearts to love Him much more, than when earthly treasures were, may I think it, more bound round my heart. 0, I do trust that these dight afflictions are being blessed to our souls, younger as well as Older.
