that I rught to forego the pleasure of attending
the meeting of the Friends Of Progress in Salem.
| have Just CONF from the house Of q widow lady,
whose son, the delight of her eyes, the JOY of her
heart, is at the Point of death. Her husband, a
particular friend Of mine died last December
while l was absent on a visit to friends in New
England. The thought of my going away, just nj
this second bereavement is about to befnl her
seemed to give her great pain. And l determined
to stay at home, and do what | may to minister t
her comfort when the hour Of separation shall
come
An additional reason why I feel it my duty t
remain here. is, that the gentleman on whom l dt
pended for the supply of my pulpit. next Sunday
sent me a note yesterday informing me that b
must 20 elsewhere.
Thus, again am I forbidden to go to Ohio an
see the faces and hear the voices of many, who
| have long known by report as fellow laborers
the cause Of Humanity.
II | had met with you it was my intention
