Summary
Thanking Knight, on behalf of herself and her sister Susanna, for his sympathy on the death of her brother, Thomas Arnold; writing of her brother that "his was a singularly attractive childhood--a blameless youth--a manhood, tossed & troubled indeed by the inward strivings after Truth and certainty--but always unspotted from the world... [he was] a worker and a worshipper to his last conscious moments."
