Scope and Contents

He was deeply shocked upon hearing of the death of Mrs. McMaster, as he had not heard that she was ailing. He extends his deepest sympathises to McMaster. Often in the midst of his sorrows and troubles he draws consolation from the fact that his wife is still with him, As a true and old friend, McMaster can believe him when he extends his sympathies. Yesterday and today he prayed for the repose of Mrs. McMaster's soul in his church and tomorrow he will offer Holy Communion for her. His wife begs to be remembered to McMaster that she too sympathizes with McMaster and will offer her prayers. He prays that God will offer McMaster consolation in his trials. An answer is not expected. He expects to go to New York soon and may pay McMaster a visit. He urges McMaster not to relax the Christian courage he has so long shown. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
