From Smith, JohnDear Madam,
I thank you very 
heartily for your paper about 
Home Colonisation : I wish 
you success in every way. If my brain were 
but a little stronger, I would gladly do something to 
help forward the scheme : but alas! I can give only good 
wishes and earnest prayers.
   In the next world I shall hope to make your 
acquaintance ; and thank you in person for all the 
brightness you have given to my old age.
Ever your grateful
John Smith. M. A.                    Dr. E. Blackwell
