From the very little that I know about it I suppose that L. could not supply the place of a 'kind girl, in Mr. Wathers family and go to school but if she could by sleeping at home 2 or even three days in the week, I should be willing to have her go there this summer and work for board & go to school to you if you should stay there (but what about your staying there you did'nt tell) I dont know but it is wrong to indulge the wish or at least to seek to gratify it to have my children have the advantages of education with no more means at command to accomplish it. I hope it is not from an ambitious motive but that they may be more virtuous useful and happy how ever that may be I think I have a sincere desire to feel an entire submission to the will of God respecting it - but that bears very little weight on my mind in comparison with thier conversion. My anxiety for you Dear Isaac has been so great especially since I heard of the revival at B. that it has sometimes amounted to an agony of distress that I could hardly mind my work - but I have been brought to feel more submissive and to enquire why? why? I feel so much more for you than other person who out of the orb of safety your soul is of no more value than theirs and God will be glorified if not in your salvation he will in your destruction - but O my son think on eternity fix your thought upon it till you feel its weight try to measure it compare it with this little inch of time endeavour to realise it as you will when "time with you shall be no more,, then think of the value of your soul and O think of the sacrifice Eternal love has made think of the unspeakable gift do - do my son be persuaded to attend to the concerns of your soul now when will you ever have a better time will it be easier for you to seek religion when you have longer rejected and Despise'd the offer'd mercy. Listen O listen my son to the still small voice beware that you grieve not the Holy Spirit of God
