Drummondville, December 9, 1849
(We had an opportunity of seeing and conversing with Mrs. Freeman a few days prior to her death. She conversed freely on her dissolution and had strong confidence in God. Her entire dependence was upon the Saviour of sinners. To all our enquiries she gave ready and satisfactory replies; and after two or three interviews with her, we left her to see her face no more in time, but with a “sure and certain hope” of seeing her one day in our Father’s Kingdom.
