The grace and peace of God the Father, and the
great mercy and love of the Son our Lord Jesus
Christ, who through grace was sent by the Father
to the salvation of all those that have died unto their
sins, and are thus risen with Christ unto newness
of life; and the eternal, unfathomable joy, comfort,
and fellowship of the Holy Ghost, strengthen and
keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, to
whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

After all cordial salutation to you my very dear
and beloved husband and brother in the Lord, I inform
you that my heart is still fixed to offer up a
sacrifice to the Lord, the Lord be praised for the
great grace which he shows to me poor, miserable
creature. And I am also tolerably well according
to the flesh, as I trust through the grace of the
Lord that it is also with you, my most beloved in
the Lord. Nothing more for this time, but I commend
you to the Lord and to the words of his grace;
this is the good wish and greeting of my heart.
Farewell. Pray for me.

By me, your dear wife and sister in the Lord.

Maeyken Wens.
