Mattie Mr Angell and myself stayed with Belle, untill James came to take her to church. we walked home. Ada and Hunt are on the beach picking shells. Oh' how sad it is to me to think that I will never see my queenly and Christ like child again, Oh' it is so hard to bear, she filled so large a part in my heart, I have lost ten years of my life although I have left so many beautiful worthy loving children and so good a husband, and so much of this worlds goods and wealth, yet I do so keenly feel the abscense of my lost one. I mourn for her day and night, her babies cannot make up the loss -- they rather increase my grief -- when I look at the poor little Innocents.
