Testaments which he had, from time to time, forwarded.

M. ---- replied to her that it gave him more joy than to have received
twenty thousand francs from another source, as it testified their
attachment to the word of God. He returned her the full amount of
their donation in Bibles, with two hundred and fifty Testaments from
the Society, together with fifty from himself, as his last present
before his departure, and also six hundred Tracts and several other
religious hooks. Pointing out to her an esteemed friend in Paris,
to whom, if further supplies should be needed, she might apply
with assurance that her requests would be faithfully regarded, and
exhorting her to remain steadfast in the faith, and to fix her eye
always upon the Saviour, M. ---- commended her to God, in the fervent
hope, that, through the unsearchable riches of his grace, he should
hereafter meet her, and her persecuted associates in that world where
"the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest."

NOTE.--The original letters of the widow, in French, are deposited in
the archives of the American Tract Society.
