Transcription	Brother & Sister Ross- When I was a little girl my Mother had a kind of Cabinet in which she kept her "jewels" which consisted of written extracts of sermons, Text of Scripture, Sacred poems, choice pieces of both prose & poetry cut from Religious news papers - &c, &c. "The Dying Christians Farewell" was a great favorite with her - & I have often had to "hunt it out" & read it for her, when she was afflicted. In after years, she had me to write it off for her, The original being nearly worn out from use. It has, both for its associations & Sentiments become exceedingly dear to me & I hope you may, sometimes, find comfort in reading The copy I send you - The original, (which was cliped from one of our old Advocates) was so nearly worn out when I copied it that I am satisfied there are some errors in it [it" written over stricken "the], & I have not sufficient poetic Talent to correct them - Respectfully R. Y. Anderson.
