By this time you know, how far from an illness [ ] death we considered his case but unnecessary to spread[ ] when he would be up in a few days & so you may gather what a horrible shock it was. My great anxiety was that he might get to Rick [ ] & add his wisdom & fearless [ ] to whatever might be best for the church. And I think if engross’d his [ ] perhaps unfavorably for he told me it was a council he had look’d forward to with more [ ] than for four or five years. His depart was so peaceful as to bring to our minds the words of the prophet. “May I die the death of the righteous & may my last end be like his.” If he felt the presence of death & he may he fully carried out his thoughts on the subject for I’ve often heard him say, it was a very small matter as it concerned the great end of all things, a preparation for that was the business of life.

And in all this was the look & obedience to his God so infused that he felt the peace of God whc paseth understanding. Don’t you remember how often people wld criticize his rapidity as a funeral?
