Oceans[underlined] of love to out own dear Johnny, absent but ever present in out affections and prayers. Be happy and strong and yield not to the temptation that assails you but rise? with calm dignity over the heartless[underlined] cruelties[underlined] of the world and place your affections on a surer foundation, but crush them not, for in time or in eternity they must constitute your happiness. Day unto day and night unto night bear testimony to my loving aspirations for my dear lonely boy. Your own affectionate Mother, M. Le M.
