I have red among strangers who were kind to me, May God bless them and keep them from dangers free, Although my afflictions for three years have been great. I have learned to lie patient and learned to wad. Now, my dear children, when this you see. Read with care and think of me. One whose love goes out for you. Who hag always been to you so true .
