My                                                                                                       

            Dear                                                                                                    

                        Friend & Brother W^m O— Albright I can hardly even to myself admit that you are going away from us perhaps to see you no more—Our intercourse has been to me sweet & profitable & it seems I feel when I think of it as scarcely possible—I am one of them that believes in an over-ruling Providence in whose purposes I can rely, and to whose guidance I can commit my affairs in perfect simplicity and trust him with my interests both temporal & eternal—While I trust him his Eternal Word is pledged and who has failed who had a reliant trust in Our God?—Not one!! God be praised while we / His promises are yea and come to all them that believe—His place of defence shall be the munitions of Rocks bread shall be given him and Water shall be serve "Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty they shall behold the Land that is afar off"—Isaiah C 33 & 15 & 16

 

            Be encouraged my brother to trust in God He will not forsake you Satan will try now for to sow unbelief and every doubt that he can generate is his work "Trust in God and do good" Ps. 37—

 

—Rachel and I have talked of Sister Dora and would do anything we can do for her—If my Brother and Sister we can do anything to aid you command / us to the extent of our ability we are your servants in Jesus Christ—

 

—I have only this to offer you now—but will ever feel myself indebted to you for your sympathy and friendship to me & mine—

 

            Your promise to bring Sister Albright to take tea with us or dinner as most convenient to you we hold as binding Come out anytime you are ever welcome at Bro Richards—

 

If I get a donation I will double this to you

 

God bless you my Bro W^m and direct you into the paths of peace

I am ever thine

Richard--

 

W^m O. Albright                                                                     

 

P.S. Please excuse this as I am tired today and not very well

God bless you
