London, June 24tli, 1805. 

 My Dear Cousin, 



The account of your ill-liealth, as (you) described (it) in 

 (the latter part of) your former letter affected me even to tears. 

 I cannot indeed expect to see you any more upon earth. : yet for 

 my dear brother's sake, and to those to whom you are imme- 

 diately useful, I wish to regard the hour of your departure as yet 

 far distant, — (besides that I hope to enjoy the comfort and 

 benefit of your correspondence, tho' not of your conversation). 

 But in this and every other particular, that concerns us, Grod 

 will act according' to his (own) infinite wisdom and love. As 

 you are safe in the Lord Jesus, nothing [need — Wilherforce] 

 now disquiet you or us on your account, — whether life or death — 

 aU is yours. (Your last unexpected letter for which I thank 

 (you ?), because it was unexpected, was more cheering). May Grod
