Evidence: | 'My sisters Catherine, Rachel, Chenda and myself had a very remarkable morning, I felt most easy to stay at home from Meeting to be with my beloved sick sister, and had a desire for some religious time with her. After she was dressed and removed into the Dressing Room on her couch, we read in the Bible, but so overcome was she from weakness and sleepiness, that she could not keep awake, however I went on reading, and then knelt down in prayer and thanksgiving for her and for us' |
