affliction and our souls be carried to that world above where pleasure banish pain, what a blessed exchange from a world of
troubles and trials to a world of happiness and peace, to dwell in those bright realms above with all the illegible of the

heaven with joy, and eternity with undying melody as it ascends in peaking notes from the mansions of Glory, unto him that
loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood and hath made us kings and priests unto God, to him be glory and dominion

of the Holy Spirit to lead and guid us in the ways of all truth, to lead us in that narrow way that lead to everlasting life
and to point us to Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world, dear John I hope this will find in good health, I must
bid goodby for the present, from your friend write soon Reid? William
