I sink down abased before my Lord and
Saviour, for numberless proofs of his love,
faithfulness and forbearance, which I
have experienced in many ways. The first
year I spent here appeared very heavy in-
deed; everything seemd so different to
what I was accustomed, and not know-
ing the language, was altogether a heavy
task. However my best Friend did not
leave me nor forsake me, but lent a
gracious ear to all my wants and com-
plaints. In <date>Oct. 1802</date> I was afflicted
with an epidemical fever, and so ill,
that little hope was given of my recovery.
Though I had no clearness that I should
go to my dear Saviour, yet I wished
for that favor to see him face to face,
and felt happy in the thought of leav-
ing this world. But it pleased him to
restore me again, and I found much
reason to thank and adore him for
his paternal love and care, which
was made manifest to me.

ted the anniversary of this house
