Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of Benjamin Silliman, M.D., LL. D., Late Professor of Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Geology in Yale College, Vol. 2 of 2: Chiefly From His Manuscript Reminiscences, Diaries, and Correspondence
From the Reply of M'ss H Since I received your letter, expressing such affectionate solicitude for my welfare, II have had a long conversation with Dr. Hawks, and his 'kind convincing arguments, with yours, persuaded me of my duty; but still I hesitate to receive such a gift unworthily. I know you will blame my delay, my dear sir, but not more than I do myself. I cannot tell why it is that I so long to jom myself to those who belong to our Saviour's supper, 'and yet shrink from it; but I look forward with an earnest hope that I may be fully prepared for the next communion. Dr. Hawks seems to be all we could look for or wish in a pastor, but still I cannot talk to him with the freedom I can write to you. You claim my first gratitude for exciting feelings which have added much to my happiness, and I trust that in time they will perfect it here and hereafter.
