Yours affectionately,

I cannot tell you what joy it is to me to hear
of all going so well, not but what I thought it
would. I never had such a solemn sense of God
working with us, or rather through us.
Lome writes now that my father is a British
Duke, I am to be made Female Tetrarch of Tiree.
I have replied, I think a Scottish Duke quite as
good as British. He will get my letter at Windsor,
and I can but hope he won't repeat it to the Queen !

I have a sense of blank, now that I cannot follow
the days as they come round with the various
meetings. I am sure you will all remember that

call here in the south, " aggressive." We High-
landers especially are slow to express our diffi-

word, delivered, as Dr. Saphir used to say, " in
the Master's tone," because we have been " with
Him," will be blessed to many.
