Year of Mercy & Blessing to me My d<hi rend="superscript"><hi rend="underline">r </hi></hi> Sav<hi rend="superscript"><hi rend="underline">r</hi></hi> gave
me to feel my Sinfulness & Defrravite[?] more than

heart & I wish to be useful in his Service and
it is my fixed Intention to live to him & not to
my self & thus he will carry me thrro to the last
