“On the fifth of August soon afterwards another sorrowful event
happened. My youngest son Eimah (Erich?), one of my twins, suddenly
departed from this world; and therefore my sorrow was increased, and
all hope overthrown. O God! have mercy upon me, and come to comfort
and help me, poor one. Help, true God! and assist me, comfort me with
Thy Spirit, and protect me and my dear children who are still left in
good health. And grant, O God! that we then may behold Thee in Heaven
eternally. O Lord! forgive us our trespasses, help that we may wait
with patience until our last hour may come; and also that our faith
may be true, to believe in Thy Word steadfastly until we sink into the
slumber of death.”
