My boys are still out of the ark. Pray for us, my dear friend, especially pray that I may have no unconverted child. The event has been greatly sanctified to me and my wife. God grant that we may never grow faint. I never relax my hold upon the covenant. Jesus has been more precious to me than I have felt him for a long time, and the Gospel more glorious, Henceforth I am bound, I trust, for eternity. I want to live only for the glory of God. Pray for me and mine, The Lord bless you, and reward you for your kind and Christian sympathies.
As ever yours,
J. H. Thornwell.
