DEAR JOSEPH, - There are few persons on whose judgment I can more confide than Sister Clapham, Sister Dowries, and Betsy Ritchie. I know little of Miss Thompson; but if they approve of her I shall have no objection. Take every step with much prayer; and I trust God will give you His blessing. - I am, dear Joseph, Your affectionate brother.","word_count":70,"source_url":null,"themes":["reign-of-god","trinity","works-piety"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:15:04.259954"}]}
