"O, most Holy and Revered Father, tell me, am I wrong in not

listening to the monitions that are racking my inmost being? May

I hope the love that is growing within my soul will be surely

recognized and reciprocated by Nu-nah on her return to physical

health? Is this love a vain delusion on my part, an imagination

born from sympathies that will vanish as soon as health is

restored and we enter the whirl of the social world again? If it

is in thy power, O Father, tell me the truth. Repeat thy assuring

words once more, and I will be guided by them in the future, and

never again allow the shadow of doubt to cross the threshold of

my mind."
