Summary
Telling them that he benefited from his time in Ireland but was called back "...for the Use-work which was at hand. We find it always thus. When the full being is given up to the evils of bad, in this new and wondrous life, all things move in one grand and solemn harmony;" adding how glad he was "...to sit down at your table, to eat of your bread, and drink of your cup on Earth. I pray and hope that it may be the sure omen and prophecy of an everlasting fellowship, wherein we may at least break bread together, in the heavenly kingdom of our God."
