the most of my time since your letter came to hand has been devoted to the care of my babe for the destroyer has tried hard to get him from me but I feell as though I had the best right to him and I claimed him at the hand of God and he was pleased to spare him unto me which I consider to be another token that he has not forgotten me— may I ever be thankful for his mercies to me— he was taken with the hooping cough and then the croup (which is prestness for breath) set in which brought him to the gates of death – O! thought I how can I give up my babe even in in the absence of his father who had never seen him I felt as thou gh I could not endure it so I and one of the sisters that lives near me took hold on faith with all the powers of mind that we could muster and the Lord heard and answered us
~ Phebe Whittemore Carter Woodruff
