Letter to Miss Harriet Hale 01

May you always enjoy the undivided love of your husband, helping him in attaining all that is desirable in this life, and when you have seen your children’s children, and the drama of life is nearing its end, may you help each other in reaching that infinite ocean of Existence!

Letter to Mrs. Ole Bull 33
