moral law will be obliged in full. If she fulfils the second the moral law will be broken. I do not see the first shade of a moral obligation resting upon her to go to Marietta. Now I am not an advocate in this matter simply, but a person interested in the right. If Sarah does wrong it reflects upon me as much as though I had done wrong. Conscious of being in the full blare of the eye of God, I have written all I have on this subject, both in this & in former letters. I feel myself responsible to him for the thoughts expressed; I have not the first iota of hesitancy in saying that Sarah is not under any moral obligation to go to M. because she has engaged to go. The engagement was made by an accident out of which grew an honest misunderstanding, which is now corrected, & the whole subject stands morally, as though not one word had been said about going to M. Of course then you are thrown back upon your former arrangements. Sarah's health and happiness as well as my own & our future usefulness have prompted all I have said on this subject. I have spoken earnestly, but always in the strongest & purest? love of my heart. Receive it so my dear brother, I hope we now fully understand each other & am to enter upon a scene of full and peaceful enjoyment. Sarah knows my whole soul & I feel that our trials are past. My life is now to be devoted to her happiness. How much I love her, adore her, I ? can tell.
