either or both in this life & the life to come. Personally I would like to become all my dear ones can hope for me to become, & would rather give my life than to disappoint or be disappointed. Yes I've had my faults, my children need to have a charity for me, so to overlook my faults & love me & pray for me daily, will you? 

My sympathy goes out to the distressed those in war & sorrow. Tho many bring it on themselves.

Well I must close I would like you to write me tell me your hopes, fears & desires I will understand. Sympathetic understanding is one of the foundation stones of enduring love. Affectionately, Father
