Synopsis
There were omissions of importance in the former narration of my life. I
willingly comply with your desire, in giving you a more circumstantial
relation; though the labor seems rather painful, as I cannot use much study
or reflection. My earnest wish is to paint in true colors the goodness of God
to me, and the depth of my own ingratitude—but it is impossible, as
numberless little circumstances have escaped my memory. You are also
