June 20/80[?]
Leckhampton House,
Cambridge.
My dear Mr Wallace
Thank you for your words of sympathy, & of honour
to the departed.1 He would have deeply valued your approval.
How one feels the nothingness of all other questions beside the great[?] problem of after death.
If that is well, all is well.
I find strength in the hopes already acquired; tho I would they were stronger still. A severance[?] like this tries faith to its foundation.
Yours most truly
