Dear Sir

I have been sick in bed for over a year and am looking forward to the other country.

It is a great pleasure to thank you for the position you [2] take in the "Christian Register[.]"¹

I admire your tolerance and sincerity so much that I have no words ^{with which} to express myself.

The death of a friend since my sickness has given me an experience that is proof to me that [3] Spiritualists are might in their central claim, and I feel a great personal gratitude toward you. I don't feel so alone in my joy of looking forward. I am so delighted too to hear such words published in "The Christian Register." If you [4] are not overburdened with letters of gratitude it is because people are too timid to express themselves to you. I think we yield to that feeling too much sometimes when a great good is done [for] us and so I am speaking out.

With unbounded reverance and gratitude | I am Respectfully | Ellen Wellman [signature]
