A life that all things casts behind,

Springs forth obedient to thy call;

A heart, that no desire can move,

But still t’adore, believe, and love,

Give me, my Lord, my life, my all!

I hope this will find your Ladyship quite happy under the shadow of redeeming love. I wish your Ladyship an increase of that happiness every moment, as being, honoured Madam,

Your Ladyship’s most dutiful, though most unworthy humble servant,

G. W.
