 meant to sting my heart, but have procured its peace.—May penitence for the intended mischief assuage their own remorse.
I am infinitely indebted to the amiable superior of our convent for many indulgencies—She knew and loved my mother, and has transferred that kindness to your friend.—From this cause, were there no other, I should be pleased with her society; but she is sensible, as well as good.
I mention this little circumstance to render you more easy at my seclusion from a world which has to me most surely been a world of woe.—May every happiness it can afford await my tender friend and may we meet again in that

blessed place,
where every tear is wiped from every eye,
to part no more.

ST. MARY MAGDALEN.
