66 [4]but they both went away and then another Anne came but no Marys then still another Anna but no Marys but a Jane there is another coming tomorrow maybe her name will be Mary But all the Marys and Anns will die some day. You are young my dear twins and perhaps you will live a long time O how very blessed you will be if you live all the time with Jesus who died on a cross long ago for you O how much he loves you surely you will love him all your days Be patient and suffer all things for that dear Jesus' sake and soon you will be with him in the Happy Land far away' Goodbye my dear sister God bless you and all the rest[1] [Nov., 1860]One morning when I was half awake and half asleep long ago when I was in my bed Pa told me I had got twin sisters I don't know whether I was glad or not but I rather guess if he had come a minute afterwards and told me that the twin sisters had gone away up to the skies among the clouds I don't think I would have asked for the place where they went up or cried a bit after I got on my clothes and had to go and see them I am sure I would rather have gone to school and got whip[illegible] on both hands but I had to go and had to kiss them too O my kiss such soft red looking things
