| Transcript | [Jan?] 19th Single John Fennel Caher abbey Caher For Isabella My Dear Isabella I willingly comply with thy sister Lecky's desire of addressing thee - although I have the dull tidings to impart of my beloved sister's [removal?] the awful change took place between 10 & 11 0 clock this morning, she peacefully & quietly departed, a short time before she had the children in the room & spoke to them in her usual instructive manner it has been a great consolation to me to be a few days with her, her mind was so calm and tranquil yet she told me she has had many conflicts & struggles - which she compares to what Jacob had to obtain the blessing, but all was amply compensated by her sweet peace of mind & full assurance of happiness It had been indeed an edifying season for I think no one could hear her instructive conversation & fervent beautiful supplication without feeling [profited?] she prayed for her absent relatives as well as those who were present - particularly that her own brother who wandered on a foreign land might return to the Land & be a comfort to his widowed mother - she this morning said - O Lord save the souls of my Dear children, let not one of them be lost - One morning on the window being opened she said - O the glorious light that lights to freedom the children of God - all she said was similar & I hope when we meet I can tell thee more particulars, I thought thee would like to hear even those few - which are written in much haste - the family are in the greatest affliction but pretty well thy sister desired me to acknowledge thy letter - accept all their love & believe me with much affection thy Anne Grubb Maria Jacobs Dear Love |
