Mr A M Hall
I am acting as Chaplain of the hospital in this place in the absence of the hospital. I am Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in the city. But it was my painful duty to visit your Brother several times during his last hours. He left the scenes of of affliction on Sabbath morning last. I was not with him when he died. He suffered much But from his clear expressions of his hope in Christ I think he is among the blessed dead who die in the Lord" He uttered these words among the last I heard him speak "Oh how it would rejoice my wife to know that I die hapy." He was perfect in mind to the last. I think you must not mourn as those that are without hope. The Lord make this great trial to you all a means to prepare you to meet your friend at Gods right hand.
Yours in affliction,
Robert Stewart
