I went to the mourners' 'bench., 'but I hadn't faith enough,
though I don't think there ever was a penitent that wanted
to be forgiven more than I did, and I wanted to have the
good news of my conversion to send to you. But I will not
get discouraged. I will never be satisfied until I get it, and
when I do become a Christian, I hope never to become a
backslider.

well as ever. I hope you ail will have a nice Christmas din-

August, 1865. C. was down here with Mrs. K., and

heaven." I still like the country and my home. Give my
love to Mrs. L. Tell her I will never forget her. Tell her
