My dear Mrs. Norsworthy,
I must write a few lines to thank you for your account of my dear old friend, who, I feel, is lying in the land of Beulah, though broken by these times of distress.1 It was something the same with good old Judge Patteson, father of the Bishop. He had a throat complaint that he knew must bring final choking. And when it had very nearly come, as he revived, he said, ‘The beautiful angel is gone, but he will soon come again!’ I am very glad you can be constantly with her. . . .

With much love to my dear M. A.
Yours very sincerely,
C. M. YONGE.

1Marianne Bigg-Wither (1820-1900). Florence (Bigg Wither) Norsworthy was her niece.
