Returning home every night to a Christian woman such as you was something for which I am sure he offered our Creator thanks every day of his life. Again, if you can find it in your heart to grant forgiveness for my error last evening, I will be most grateful and in your debt. You've already demonstrated your kindness with the thoughts and advice you imparted to me, a perfect stranger, last evening. May Jesus Christ cradle you in His love.

Oh, good evening, Mr. Darrow: Thank you for your explanation and for your most kind apology. Heavens, I assumed it was just an oversight when you had written the wrong name, and I had forgotten about it almost as soon as I'd mentioned it. These little slip-ups happen to all of us, from time to time. And, yes, you are quite correct in that my beloved Wilbur was very happy with his darling Isabella. "Bella, oh dearest Bella", he would sing when he arrived home from the office, and how happy I was to hear him! Oh, I know that I mustn't go on about this, so I do ask your forgiveness if my sentimentality has caused you to shed a tear.
And as for the thoughts and advice that I had given to you earlier, you are as welcome as the flowers in May. I'm always glad to be helpful, and I think you'll find that that's the way it is here at
. The
has brought us all together here at
, and we do strive to help each other serve
Almighty.
May the
richly bless you, Mr. Darrow,
Sincerely, Isabella W.
