faithfull savr thro the convictions of his gracious Spirit
brought me again to Recolection, when I found I had not

my inexpresible Joy and Comfort, July 17th1771 I had the
grace to injoy the H Cn the first time with the Congn

grace has been an incouragment to me in the many
deviations or mistakes I have been senceible of since that

Comfort & help his poor me thro' in all Circumstances,

feeling sence of her own poverty, as well as
habit of Body, which this last spring took a consumptive
turn, whereby the comencement of her disolution was -
