"This morning we have been not a little amused by the tyro efforts of our

child and is improving every way. But he fills not up the vacancy
occasioned by the departure of our blessed Mary. I can never feel as
I have felt towards children. The gloss is rubbed off by that blow which
withers my heart like grass and burned it up like an hearth..."
