Woolich June 8th, 1836
My very dear Mother (give my love to all my brother and sisters ....)
   I am realy sorry to her that you feel cast down on my account. in consequence of my not writing you but I can assure you that there is not the least or forgetfulness on my part for the reason that I direct to you was simply this, because I thought I would be all the same to you; and I cannot --- ever wrote one to him without mentioning you in --.. Therefour I thought you was under no consern about ---. James is married you say, he never told me anything about that. I suppose he has got a mass company and help make indect drawing in the same yoke. --- him I only suspect that he is married to a Roman Catholic if so I hope he will make the best of it, but really I am much afraid things will not work so well and they might have done had it been otherwise. I am realy happy to hear that you are al well in particualr you at you advanced period of life.

But is this resonable is it right is it not real madness.to pay so much attention to the tottering wall of this our earthly house of clay that will soon be cast down in the dust, yea becuome food for worms of the earth, but then my mother up let we be doing it is high time for us to awake out of this sleep that has so long blinded our eyes to those things which make for our eternal peace, it is our  high privelage to see with good old Job " I know that my Redeemer liveth and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:. and though after my skin worms destroy this body' yet in my flesh shall I see God; Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another" Job 19th Chap 25.26.27 ver: Just for a few momentent glace to the 15th Cap of Saint Paul 1st letter to the Corinthians their you will see " the believers preveledge but let
