It is very kind of you to keep alive in your heart the friendship of the two ladies. I perhaps ought to state that about two and a half years after the death of that wife in 1876 I married her ... friend.... Else I must have given up housekeeping, and know not into what family I could have gone. My second wife is nineteen years my junior, yet in walking, not at all my equal, but in affectionate care of me inestimable.

I have not heard whether your father, like me, is favoured by life continued, but I venture to send a copy of my hymns.... To-day I have received a letter and book in _Bengali_ from a believer in _Theosophy_, supposing me to be one of them! Hence, I was not too early in telling my friends that since _at the age of fourteen_ I became a Conscious Christian, no unbelief has made my hymns less precious, _mutato saltem nomine_.... My change more than fifty years ago was on Historical arguments mainly.
