Dear Hastings, my heart is pierced with anguish by the tidings of your calamity. It is long since I have been so terribly shocked.

I often think--blessed is the departed, to have escaped the anxious misery which, by this event, she must have endured! Yet be cheered, my excellent friend ! patient and collected I know you are, for where is there a firmer spirit ? I pray to God to sustain and give you strength to recover from this cruel stroke, without irreparable loss of health, and then future danger...
