December 29th.
Yesterday I had the
privilege of attending divine service in a church near General Hill's
headquarters, and enjoyed the services very much. Dr. White says in a recent
letter that our pew at home has been constantly occupied by Wheeling refugees.
I am gratified to hear it. He also adds, “How we would rejoice to see you and
our dear friend, Mrs. Jackson, again in that pew, and in the lecture-room at
prayer-meetings! We still meet every Wednesday afternoon, to pray for our army,
and especially for our general.” May every needful blessing rest upon you and
our darling child is the earnest prayer of your devoted husband.
