Dear Friend,
I ave received a letter from you, that seemeth to have been written at your passage into England,
which I wish may be prosperous, without date, but not without virtue, to spur me on, to do and
suffer the will of our God. I can say in sincerity and truth, "Thy will be done, O God!" because I
wish it heartily; but I cannot speak in righteousness, until I possess that righteousness which is
acceptable unto him. My house and my heart shall be always open to those that love him. Gichtel
has been well satisfied with the conferences between you. As for my business, it will go as the
Lord pleaseth,--and remain in him,
Your affectionate Friend
Elizabeth.
