I believe I am on the very verge of Eternity – Ora pio Nabis! – I cannot send dear Macaulay the £100; I have so exhausted myself. I wrote to him the day before I had your letter that dearest Patty had left him £500 in her Will, that I have done done the same in mine.

I was bled late in the night – It has relieved my incessant cough for a time. I am just going to put on a blister – I cough whole hours without intermission – at the mercies of my God – give my blessing to dear Goddaughter Adieu my oldest dearest friend. I have a great opinion of intercessory Prayer –

It is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Jesus Christ came into the World to save Sinners.
