October 6, 1847
Dear Sister,
I have just received your letter of 25 of September, and I have the melancholy duty to inform you that the death published in the paper I sent you was that of my Wife….You say that by the notice in the paper you perceive she died a Christian. Lovicy, if I know what a Christian is, she was one. She not only died a Christian but she had lived one. Not by profession but by her every act her every deed proclaimed her the follower of Christianity. In her the hungry and the naked have lost a benefactor, the sick a nurse and I have lost a friend who taught me to reverence God by doing good to His creatures.
