Oh! that I could look into her heart and see that all was right there for glory, in the love of Christ, and could feel assured that she was reconciled to God. I still think that she loves me, but is restrained by some fear - she acts so different towards me when in the presence of her brother -in- law than when we are together alone. Oh! Lord, thou knowest the heart, and thou knowest my prayers to thee in regard to her, and her deportment to me this evening seems to be in answer to those prayers, for it is what I asked thee for. If I understand this aright, Oh! Lord, may our next meeting be still more private, and may she be still more demonstrative, that I may fully know thy will as to my remain- ing in this city.
