I love more than all the others. since my sickness in which I have had so much distress in my head and eyes, my brain refuses everything which requires special thought or study, consequently some of [3]your more scientific articles are entirely beyond me, though I should love dearly to understand them, for I feel deeply my ignorance of Gods book of Nature as well as of His written word and I long to know much more of both. And I trust the time of study is yet coming for me; My health still improves, In some respects I think I feel better than [deleted: when] before my last summers back setting though I cannot walk as much as before.
