MY DEAR SISTER, All your letters are exceedingly pleasing to me and give me a peculiar satisfaction; but your last in particular. I know not how to repress the emotion I felt when I read it. I rejoice over others, but over you above all. How unspeakably near are you to me! Since the time that I mourned with you at London and was a partaker of your sorrow, you have given me more and more excuse to rejoice over you; though now and then with a jealous fear lest in anything you should suffer loss or be slackened in running the race set before you. I shall not ride any long journeys on horseback. See letter of March 4. But you must needs meet me either at Stroud or Broadmarston; else I shall almost think you do not love me. On Monday, March 9, I hope to be at Stroud; the Saturday following at Broadmarston. How do you know whether you shall see me any more in the body My dear Nancy, my friend, adieu!","word_count":184,"source_url":null,"themes":["experience","universal-redemption","assurance"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T20:05:58.649518"}]}
