me some Lines, which I was to send to her dr Daughter, &
desired to be most tenderly remember'd to her, to her old Widows,
whom she had particularly thought on on her last Birthday,
& to dr Br Traneker, of whom she often spoke with true Love
& Regard. Her Kinsman Mr. Schleide & his Wife paid her a 
Visit June the 17th., when she was still able to sit up, when
her Cousin Martens & his Wife served & made it very pretty & easy
to her, & June the 18th she went over into the Arms of her Re,

"My People shall dwell in a peaceable Habitation, &
"in sure Dwellings, & in quiet Resting- Places."

Of his Favour richly [?]?

young Aspect, bearing Evidence, that the Soul who had inhabited it,

were interred in the Presence of a large & decent Company
of Mourners, who afterwards partook of a rich Entertainment.

dr Grandmother -.              Your bounden Br.
                                                                Ebbe Heinsen.
Brellsbüll June 28th
