Full Text	B-281-1 Nantucket 2 mo 31, 1800 I devote the first leisure moment to write to thee my beloved Charity, and wish it were in the power of my pen to convey the feelings of my heart towards thyself & dear husband for all the tender care & soli- citude express d for my welfare ~ I have often cause to number your friendly regard as among the blessings of my life for which I am & trust ever shall be grateful to the searcher of hearts who answered the wish of mine in bestowing on me the favour of your acquaintance, previous to which I had felt a nearness I cannot describe, & my secret cogitations were, could I but enjoy the company & advice of such a feeling and nursing Father & Mother as I believe and have found you to be I should certainly find the way made easier, to after which tho, your noticing me in so peculiar a manner was cause of humble admiration & gratitude to the all wise disposer, who I have to acknowledge has not delt with me according to my merits, but that of his loving kindness.
