VOLUME 3
Poor Lady Waldegrave* has been with us, and on the whole as well as one could expect, though sadly weather-beaten. Oh what a change will the next world make to her! Her voyage has been tempestuous, but I doubt not she will reach the desired haven.† And ‘Oh the thought that thou art safe!’‡ Yes, my dear friend, there is nothing else worth living for. May we more and more feel this great truth, and live accordingly.
*Maria Walpole (1736–1807), a British aristocrat and member of the royal family
†Likely an allusion to Psalm 107:30
‡See William Cowper’s poem “On the Receipt of My Mother’s Picture out of Norfolk” (1798)
Date: September 9, 1805
