7/10/40 Reply to EC's letter: [
5/11/40: "Am sure you feel
it is more than you can bear at times, yet each of you will,
like the Psalmist, have to say, 'Though he slay me, yet will
I trust in him.' [Job 13:15] For, not only are your loved
ones waiting for you, but your own precious [
1638] is also
beckoning to you. I know anything anyone tries to say is
useless. The answer is within your own heart, and nothing
anyone can say does other than let you know they, too, suffer
with you. But through our suffering we know Him best, and
sometime, somewhere, we will understand. Now we see through
a glass darkly [I Cor. 13:12] but there we will understand."]
"Dear Judge: Just a line to tell you how much I appreciate
your message to me. Such thoughts have occurred to me but
somehow I felt that God would not deal so drastically with
his children to teach them a lesson. However, I do not
question the divine will, for I cannot expect to understand.
The only real comfort comes to me when I dream about the baby
and in my fervent hope, and even belief, that God will send
him back to us."
7/15/40 EC's letter: "A few days ago I dreamed that I went
on a visit to your mother's at the home in ..., Ky., where I
first knew you all. At first there was just [
2588], [
2653]
and [
5762] with your mother [
325] and father. Then each of
you came with your families. What a reunion there was! I
felt that I was out of place, yet each made me feel that it
wouldn't have been complete had I not been there. All were
well and happy. I never saw your mother look better, nor
your father, [
5762] and [
4159], and your little [
1638] - it
was as if nothing had ever happened - all acted as if nothing
had. What would you make out of that?"
8/10/40 "Certainly was interested in your letter. Whatever
the rest of your dream may mean, one thing there's no doubt
about. Mother was telling you how happy she is that you're
still so close to all of us. In all her life you were the
only one she ever felt like adding to her children. You know
she always referred to you as her foster son.
"We've had some interesting dreams among us. I've never
given any real credence to dreams but when the same ones
recur so often and are linked with other dreams so closely,
one is compelled to give them a little serious thought. I
believe [
257] told you of his experience when [
1638] was
taken. He was in ..., Pa. and I was in ..., N.Y. and in
essence we both rec'd the same message... Have you
investigated dreams and their causes and results? It would
be a grand study - there are so many cross-ideas on the
subject."
6/28/41 Friend Mrs. [
189]'s letter: "I thought you would
like to know that [
460] had a little baby girl yesterday. I
wonder if she is a reincarnation of little [
1638] or an
entirely new entity. It would be nice to find out sometime."
8/03/42 She obtained a Ck. Physical Rdg.,
460-6.
