Dr. has got his wife, her name is Mrs. Howe. Miss J. is working on a very nice worsted chair for Mrs. Howe. l60 LAURA BRIDGMAN Do you ever pray to God to bless me. I always tbink of bim and Heaven and my soul and being good for him to invite me to come to bis Heaven. I love bim tbe best of any one in tbe world. My friend; goodbye, — Dr. Howe thus comments on the correspondence : '^ When, at last, she knew bow to converse in English, and to write, be [Tenney] tried to be again useful to her, and... to guide her mind. He began a correspondence, and sent her endless epistles, written in defiance of every rule and precedent in orthography, etymology, and syntax, and containing tbe most extraordinary rigmarole about all manner of things, but especially about the vanity of book-learning. He was forced to grant, grumblingly, that something bad been done for her in the way of instruction, but still he thought it a pity that she had been taken from him, who could have done so much more. His love for her, however, lasted to the end, and the child proved a blessing to the old man ; not one of his little early kindnesses was lost.
