My dear Sally[1],
Please accept the enclosed as a wedding present from your attached
friends at Millmount. We will pray for
your happiness in this world and in the world to come. No doubt your intended husband will gain a
great prize. We sincerely hope and
trust that he will be very good and kind to you, and that you will both bear
and forbear and be very happy.
It
grieve us very much to think that you are going away so far from us, most
likely never to meet in this world, but hope we will in Heaven.
God
bless you my dear friend and believe me
Yours most affectionately
Wm McKean[2]
