‘Poor dear Susan was apparently well this morning, and engaged as usual, till about 11 o’clock; when upon her stooping down, she felt an acute pain; but as she was subject to this, we were not alarmed.—Finding, however, that the pain continued, we sent for our medical attendant. The suffering for a short time became acute, and the symptoms so alarming, that it was soon evident there was no hope of her life. It is considered that a vessel near the heart had given way, and that she is sinking from internal bleeding. She is indeed as one fallen asleep. Her mind is calm, and her heart is _fixed_;—her gratitude to God, her patience, love, _humility_, combined with simple trust, are all so conspicuous, that I cannot perceive which is the greatest. She appears not to have a thought in the world, and has not said one word regarding it. Her thoughts are all towards God, and the voice of praise and prayer to him, for spiritual blessings are her only theme. “Thy will be done,” seems the first and uppermost feeling of her heart. You may feel assured when you receive this, that her Spirit is in Heaven, with her beloved Saviour. All her words are now either to, or of her God and Saviour, and she appears to have closed her senses to this trying scene. Her bodily sufferings now are small. I feel as though in parting from her, I was losing one of my best friends, and I only pray that the Almighty, in his mercy, may so help me, that I may see dear Susan in another and better world. With every good wish and prayer,’ Believe me, Yours faithfully, J. P. S.’ February 27th. ‘Received this morning the account of dear Susan Jones’s death. The following is an extract from Mr. S’s. second letter.’
