You may well imagine how
disappointed I was not to meet you in the summer; not that our meeting
in former years was enough to satisfy me, but even to see loved objects
in a dream brings those who love some comfort. But you do not
even write, so sluggish are you, and I think your absence can be
referred to no other cause than that you are slow to undertake journeys
for affection’s sake. On this point I will say no
more. Pray for me, and ask the Lord not to desert me, but as He
has brought me out of bygone temptations so also to deliver me from
those that I await, for the glory of the name of Him in Whom I put my
trust.
